The Kings made a move on Thursday, acquiring a 22 year old defenseman from Vancouver. In exchange for Nic Down, the Kings received Jordan Subban. Jordan of course is one of the trio of Subban brothers who are in the league. His brother Malcolm is the goaltender for the Golden Knights, and P.K. is a defenseman for Nashville.
Nic Down started his career in Los Angeles, and was in the middle of his third season. Dowd put up decent numbers last year, but has always been criticized for his +/- numbers. Dowd owns a career -17 when he is on the ice.
