2 Los Angeles Kings Most Likely to be Traded

The Los Angeles Kings currently sit with a 12-11-6 record on the season which puts them 21st overall in the NHL and five points out of a playoff spot. If the team continues to slide, general manager Rob Blake is going to assess his roster and there's certainly a chance a move or two is made.

Here's two Kings who are most likely to be traded before April 12th's trade deadline:

Alex Iafallo, LW/C

The 27-year-old versatile forward is a pending unrestricted free-agent and drawing the most interest of Blake's hockey team. So far this season he's recorded seven goals and 19 points in 27 games and can easily jump into a top-six or top-nine forward group on a contender. Last season he finished with 43 points and has shown he's capable of producing on a nightly basis. Iafallo is making $2.45 million this season and team's interested include the Toronto Maple Leafs, New York Islanders and Pittsburgh Penguins.

Dustin Brown, RW

Brown is battle tested, a proven winner and has outstanding leadership qualities, most playoff bound teams would love to have him. The 36-year-old veteran has one season left on his contract for 2021-22, making $5.6 million on the cap. A steep number for sure, however with the resurgence of 13 goals in 27 games this season, some team's may be willing to pay it. If the Kings retain salary, their return gets even bigger, it's likely this is the case if a trade transpires. Teams interested include the Minnesota Wild, Colorado Avalanche and Boston Bruins.
