Kings could use some grit and toughness
Austin Stanovich of Los Angeles Hockey Now: The Los Angeles Kings could use some grit and toughness in their lineup next season. Include some possible options for them.
Tom Wilson – Washington Capitals – Reports suggest the Kings are kicking tires on Wilson. One of the issues with Wilson is, how long can he continue to be an effective power forward? It has one year left and after that it will require a significant extension. The Kings will need to send money and the Capitals may want futures because they will rebuild the position if they trade it. Alex Yuffalo or Victor Arvidson It probably won’t be of use.
Lawson Krause – Arizona Coyotes – Should have been the first goal for the Kings after his 24-goal season. He has three years left on his $4.3 million deal and he’s only 25. Salary cap and cost can be an issue. Would coyotes care? Sean Dorsey wow Samuel Vagimo? Could the kings also try to get it Karel Vemelka in the bargain?
NHL Rumors: Nashville Predators vs. Los Angeles Kings
The six options include the lowest Adam Lowry (Winnipeg Jets), Trent Frederick (Boston Bruins), W Yakov your train (Nashville Predators).
Goaltending may be an area that the Kings need to tackle first on grit and toughness.
