The Los Angeles Kings got together with the Ohio Winter Coat Aficionados to complete a trade. We knew that once the Jackets posted that Seth Jones could be had for a small packet of cheesies, that this was somebody we could do business with.

Seth Jones
Martin Kaut

To C'lumbus
Sidney Crosby
Nick Bonino

This moves the bulk of cap on the Kings from the forwards to the defense. We didn't like being the CPHL version of the Flames last year, barely squeaking into the postseason, and want to shake things up over the summer. To that end, we are willing to be pretty reasonable in our trades, unless we are extremely unreasonable.

I'd also like to apologize to any teams that we were talking to at the trade deadline, when we ran out of time and did nothing. We were hoping for one trade to be completed, creating a domino effect, but in the end the clock ticked down.
