LA Kings acquire:
F Matt Duchene

CBJ acquire:
D Alec Martínez
F Jeff Carter


Kings would get a great winger and could afford to give Duchene the contract he wants. He would be the scoring help the kings need, would be the perfect fit for the first line. LA would be the perfect home for his family, I think the next team he joins will be his team for many years. He's now a dad and I could imagine he likes to stay in a city like LA.

Alec Martinez is experienced but not too old. He is great defensively, blocks a ton of shots (nearly always among top 5 in the league), knows how to win the cup, could adopt pretty good in Columbus. As we'll as Carter. He's still very good, just needs to get out of his comfort zone in LA.

CBJ gets two experienced players which they could use because their team is young.
Kings lose Carter's Bad contract and get a new star.

Duchene is not rfa u don't need to give nothing to get him. Just sign him to a contract he can't refuse.

so why would you give up 2 players to acquire him when you could just sign him for free in free agency?
