It’s the most exciting time of year for hockey fans with every win and every loss having such a magnitude of importance it can swing the standings wildly. Friday’s trade deadline will be one of the toughest for the Los Angeles Kings since 2015 as injuries are forcing the front office to make difficult decisions. They lack depth in a serious way. Their most skilled young players, Alex Turcotte, Jordan Spence, and Brandt Clarke, have already been recalled. They do have a first round pick but no second, third or fifth in this year’s draft. They already dealt skilled depth players Alex Iafallo and Gabriel Vilardi for Pierre-Luc Dubois last summer.
