Not bad, I'm not sure Nylander is quite ready yet, and dealing Poulin is still questionable. but the Crouse addition is interesting.

LA doesn't have the cap space for Pettersson

Los Angeles has 5 defensemen under contract already plus the unsigned Mikey Anderson and Sean Durzi and about half a million in cap space, so any adjustments to the roster now (we're full at forward and in goal, too) would be severely disruptive as well as economically difficult.

I see your point on that but not many of the D signed play left side. Durzi is Right side. Anderson does play left but there was rumored interest from Kings in Petterson or Chychrun. THey are likely going to have shed salary anyway just to get their RFAs signed. I also doubt they role with Elder playing a big role in the top 4 or 6. something is gonna give there. Outside of Doughty and Edler very inexperienced D core.

I didn't want to trade Poulin but I see Crouse as young and NHL ready whereas Poulin may or may not get there. They are only 4 years apart and if they are gonna go for it in Sids window get the now player instead of the maybe future player

i don't disagree
