Los Angeles has two NHL-qualified LhDs under contract for next season, and Bjornfot is one of them. So trading Bjornfot would be an odd move for Rob Blake.
Because the cap situation changes over time, the Kings' cap position isn't as dire as it may seem. Including Sean Walker in a trade for Chychrun would probably render Los Angeles cap compliant.
That being said, I don't think that the Kings are going to pay more than the 2024 first, Alex Turcotte or Sam Fa-gem-o, and Jordan Spence for Chychrun; they might add their 2023 second or a lesser prospect, but that's about it -- I don't see them trading two more first-round draft picks after having traded away the 2022 pick.
