Rumor: LA Kings Make Final Offer to Rangers for #1 Overall Pick!

The Los Angeles Kings hold the #2 selection at Tuesday's NHL draft and it turns out they want to move up!

Sounds like there have been plenty of calls to #NYR GM Jeff Gorton about availability of the No. 1 overall pick over last two months - including a (recent?) overture from #LAKings to swap No. 1 and No. 2.

Alas, we are told #NYR have zero intention of trading No. 1.#NHLDraft

According to one western conference executive the Kings want a superstar to take over the hockey world in LA and see Alexis Lafreniere as 'the guy' with the much needed pedigree.

The deal is rumored to be centered around the #2 pick, two 2nd-round picks, RHD Sean Walker, and center Gabriel Vilardi. A huge package that likely just isn't enough for the New York Rangers not to select the consensus #1 prospect in the draft.

For now, it appears New York will be selecting first and by all accounts, Rangers fans will be happy with the team's decision.
