Kings Finally Acquire Good Player, Trade Zykov for Kris Versteeg

The Kings have acquired Kris Versteeg from the Carolina Hurricanes. The Kings gave up Valentin Zykov and a conditional fifth-round pick for the right winger.

As far as rentals go, this one isn't too bad. The Kings were hurting for wing depth with Marian Gaborik injured (and not necessarily coming back for the first round of the playoffs), so Versteeg will help right away. Even when the Kings are at full strength, Versteeg should still be a superior option to the likes of Trevor Lewis or Dwight King on the third line.
