Darren Dreger: Justin Williams has narrowed his list down to three or four teams. The Captials don’t appear to be an option for Williams anymore.
On the Los Angeles Kings …
Dennis Bernstein: The Kings are expected to keep their core defense intact. They won’t trade from their core for forward help. They are targeting Joe Thornton and Justin Williams and a cheaper veteran defenseman.
David Pagnotta: It appears the Kings are going all in with Thornton and Williams. It’s unlikely they are trading Dustin Brown, but they may look to move another forward.
