A Tuesday afternoon surprise as the Los Angeles Kings prepare for a showdown with the Vancouver Canucks...
It’s a one-for-one deal with a 34-year-old veteran going one way and a 35-year-old veteran forward going the other way. First, I want to remind myself that these guys are playing 12 minutes a night, and that they’re on one-year deals, and that they’re old and will get scratched, and that this trade may have minimal meaning this season, and that this trade may have zero meaning beyond this season. Second, I want to analyze this trade to death, because it’s really interesting.
