Kings decline, Walker will likely play with Edler and actually might see an uptick in minutes as he is one of the better defensemen on the team offensively. They also have an excess of forwards and will likely be waiving a few so no room for Lehkonen.

Damnn i tought he would be a great pickup

Once Faber or Clarke make it to the big show I wouldn't be surprised if Walker becomes available. But highly unlikely this season.

It's fine. Kings have a lot of RD so I was wondering if they were willing to trade one of them.

Once Clarke or Faber get here it might happen, but I think they will move him as part of a larger a package to get that ellusive top-pair LD they have been hunting for a while now.

Just sign Rielly next year then. I think whatever deal he signs ages poorly but if kings wanted to they could get their LD

Yeah Clarke, Faber, Spence, Grans and Durzi have a lot of potential. For the top LD, Bjornfot is not a future top pair D ?

Bjornfot and Andersen have shown that they could be top-4 as support/shutdown guys to Doughty (and hopefully eventually Clarke/Grans). But I believe Blake was aggressively trying to get a Werenski / Dahlin type player that would compliment Doughty and basically take his role as he gets older. This was before drafting Clarke though, so maybe that plan has changed.
