The Philadelphia Flyers are approaching this trade deadline from a unique angle. While most other teams who are several points out of a playoff spot, are gearing up to sell off their pending free agents or possibly move on from some core pieces, the Flyers don’t really have much of that. No bounty of veterans who they can get a heaping pile of draft picks for to help their rebuild, it’s just going to largely be status quo. That is except one specific player. Rasmus Ristolainen is the...

The LA Kings lost Kevin Fiala for the season to a tough loss at the Olympics, but after already adding Artemi Panarin and this being Anze Kopitar's last season, more will be done to ensure the team is given a chance to succeed. Jeff Marek said, "I don't think the Kings want...to have Anze Kopitar's career end in the regular season. You lose Kevin Fiala...that is a major dent. I cannot see Ken Holland sitting on his hands. He's gotta use that LTIR space to bring in a scorer." Options for scorer...

The Los Angeles Kings chose to go for it when they executed the deal to acquire Artemi Panarin and ink him to a new contract. Unfortunately, now Kevin Fiala seems to have suffered an injury that will keep him out a while, but that shouldn't stop the Kings from continuing forward and trying to get into the playoffs and win some rounds. David Pagnotta reminded us, "(The Kings) still have that second-round pick they got from the Habs for Phillip Danault. They basically told everybody they're will...

The Los Angeles Kings are not a big fan of Olympic hockey. In Switzerland's matchup against Canada on Friday, Kings winger Kevin Fiala fell awkwardly with Tom Wilson landing on his leg, and Fiala's since had season-ending leg surgery in Italy. It's the worst news possible for the Kings, as they'll now have a giant hole in their top six once the Olympic break concludes. Three points out of a playoff spot, look for GM Ken Holland to make a significant deal ahead of the March 6 deadline. He...

The incident occured in a collision with Canada's Tom Wilson, in which Fiala landed awkwardly. He had to be stretchered off the ice. Nothing dirty about this collision, freak accident, unfortunate outcome. If someone other than Tom Wilson landed on Fiala's leg, there would be no disc...

The LA Kings are still looking to upgrade and a center is at the top of their needs. Ideally, a center with term would fit nicely in the plans, but even just someone to help with a playoff push and deeper run this season would be of great help as well. According to David Pagnotta, "Charlie Coyle, that's a player that I believe (LA) has some interest in." Coyle is a strong third line center and is able to play as the second line center. He has been doing both his entire career and this season. ...

The Los Angeles Kings sit three points out of a playoff spot in the West, but just acquired Artemi Panarin with a contract extension. Their plan is to get in this season and compete while being a better overall team next season as well. They also aren't planning on doing nothing from here until the trade deadline as they need center help.

Whether the Los Angeles Kings acquired Artemi Panarin or not, they are still searching for center help as they try to keep their window open. Anze Kopitar is retiring after the season and Philipp Danault fell off, so the Kings traded him. All they have as top-6 center options moving forward is Quinton Byfield and Alex Laferierre. David Pagnotta said the Kings are "going to look at the dot. They're going to...see if they can bring somebody in up the middle to give them a nice 1, 2, 3 punch. The...

The Edmonton Oilers have themselves a struggling player who needs a change of scenery, in Andrew Mangiapane. The Los Angeles Kings also have a floundering forward, making around the same money ($3.5M to $3.6M) in ex-Oiler Warren Foegele. Who says no to a one-for-one swap of the 29-year-olds? Foegele for Mangiapane. Dollars are almost equal and both have year left. — Jim Matheson (@jimmathesonnhl) February 9, 2026 Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal thinks it makes sense. As does M...

The Los Angeles Kings didn't sit around and wait until the trade deadline to pull off a massive move, acquiring Artemi Panarin. He reportedly only wanted to go to LA and was willing to sign there, which he did. This adds much-needed offense to the team and keeps them in contention for a few more years, whether Anze Kopitar retires or not. But since the team's top centerman is retiring after the season, the Kings are going to have to address that as well. But there could be a solution that fits...
