Los Angeles Kings News & Notes:
Los Angeles is third in the Pacific Division standings and looking to ‘shake-up their core.’ How much of a shake-up remains to be seen, but the Kings have recently been linked to Mikko Rantanen if he makes it to UFA in July. Could there be a pre-deadline deal to be made if Carolina decides they can’t risk losing Rantanen in free agency?
Chicago Blackhawks News & Notes:
After Seth Jones became vocal about his wish to be traded, many thought a return would be middling and the Blackhawks would just benefit from shoving him out the door. Thankfully, they were able to make a deal with the Florida Panthers to get themselves a candidate for goaltender of the future in Spencer Knight.
