The Kings are a pretty good team, and will likely be in the playoff mix for a few years. But I don’t see them contending at the top of the conference going forward.

He still probably has a better chance with LA. San Jose and Anaheim are in the toilet. Calgary is retooling. Vancouver will be up and down along with Edmonton. Seattle isn't really a threat. LA isn't a huge threat either, but they have made the playoffs more than New Jersey.
It's likely that no one wants to play with PLD. Not sure what LA was thinking, but that will go down as one of the worst trades ever.
