LA next year

I really wanted to make a sassy, sort of mean reply because of that Anderson trade but the rest of your lines look relatively thought out (minus a few minor miscues) so Ill offer some constructive criticism instead.

1. Mikey Anderson formed one of the best 5-on-5 D-pairs in the NHL with Drew Doughty. He played the most minutes out of any rookie in the NHL, and he did it facing the best lines in the West division nearly all season. He has --Significantly-- more value to LA than a 4th round pick from the league's most cap-strapped team. He's not going anywhere, will be a mainstay in the top-4, and will likely have an A on his sweater within the next 4 years.

2. MacDermid is at best a 7th NHL Dman on a team that has been at the bottom of the standings for 3 straight years. He is not an NHL regular, and had an absolutely terrible year.

3. As much as I'd like Wagner to be taken by Seattle (he will be exposed and they could, I just don't see it happening) its much more likely to be Kale Clague. So that 3rd LD spot will be Maatta's to lose unless the Kings go out and get someone in the summer.

4. Brown will be on Kopi's wing until either Kaliyev/****emo force him out (2+years away) or the Kings bring in a winger in free agency or trade. Moore is a fun player and has done really well with his time. But he is not a first line player.

Who tf is Bulat Shafigullin

Russian prospect with some skill. Probably trading him because it doesn't look like he's coming over for the Kings. 21 years old, likely has NHL upside if he ever decides to leave the KHL. Think a Dominik Kubalik for Chicago type thing, with probably not that level of scoring. From Scott Wheelers Kings article in 2020: "His shot is accurate, quick and hard — though it’s more dangerous from a standstill than in motion. His puck skills are high-end and help him get to the net with ease against his peers (I’m confident he’ll be able to get to dangerous areas in time at the pro level) and he reads the play quickly as a passer. Concerns with his upside have tended to be built around his athleticism, his style and his defensive acumen rather than his actual skills. He’s going to put up big numbers on a pro team somewhere, I’m just not sure if it will be the NHL. If he can put it all together and stay healthy, he could make himself interesting in a couple of years, though."

Not to say that I think the trade happens, I'm really not sure why OP focused on him. It shows a knowledge of the Kings system, but then he proceeded to trade Mikey Anderson for a 4th. I don't get it.

Detroit does not want the defenseman who lost his spot to Jack Johnson.
