Considered to be a rising star at one point, Jake DeBrusk has fallen out of favor in Boston. Going to the LA Kings could jumpstart his career.

The 2015 NHL Entry Draft is one that most LA Kings and Boston Bruins fans would like to forget about. Just prior to the draft, the Kings traded their first-round pick in that draft (number thirteen overall), goaltender Martin Jones, and defenseman Colin Miller to the Bruins for hulking winger Milan Lucic.

At the time, Lucic was considered one of the premier power forwards in all of hockey, and he was very popular with the Boston fanbase.
