The LA kings are in an extremely fortunate circumstance, as their abundance of young talent allow them to go out and get great players who are available and fill positional needs. The stars have pretty much aligned for this LA team, and they could easily become a cup contender if willing to spend the assets. If Thatcher Demko is truly available for trade, the fit between him and the Kings would be perfect. When healthy, Demko is one of the league's best, and at 5 mil for 3 seasons, he would be a brilliant addition to anchor the Kings. That being said, I am not of the belief that Demko is available for trade. If he is, the Kings should be on the phone ASAP. In contrast to Demko, we all know that Chychrun is available for trade, and once again, the fit between LA and Chychrun is ideal. He is a relatively cheap defenseman with term who brings so much to a weak LD core. He is a true number 1 defenseman and would be worth every penny. Walker could be a decent get for any team in need of an RHD, so Ottawa would be a decent trade partner. Cal Petersen needs to be moved and I would consider paying more to do so if a 3rd isn't enough.

As an outsider looking in, I am not terribly familiar with LA's wants, needs, or what they're willing to spend. Am I overvaluing anyone? Undervaluing anyone? Let me know in the comments, but I truly believe that the trade targets becoming available are just asking for the Kings to make a trade.
