If Kings trade Muzzin how would they handle the expansion draft? Still protect 4 d? Doughty, Martinez, McNabb and Forbort? At forward, Kopitar, Carter, Pearson, Toffoli, , but leaves Dowd out there?

Also, the problem with Landeskog would remain.... ie., why trade for Landeskog if he's not gunna be protected in the expansion draft? Kings would have to protect....
Kopitar
Carter
Pearson
Toffoli
Landeskog
.....UNLESS.....
Pearson is part of that deal. If it's Muzzin/Pearson for Landeskog/Iginla, then DL protects....
Kopitar
Carter
Toffoli
Landeskog
Doughty
Martinez
McNabb
Forbort
Quick
.....with the belief that the Knights taking either Iginla, Brown, or Gaborik won't hurt us.....
At the start of the season.
If I told you Trevor Lewis would have two more goals, and only be two points behind Kopitar(with Kopitar playing similar amount of games), 40 games in, your response ?
Kopitar has one single goal, in his last 29 NHL games.
It's a miracle the Kings are in a playoff hunt still.

Any interest in Vanek? I know there are question marks regarding his attitude, etc. but hes having a great season, would be an ideal winger for Kopitar and would not cost a lot to get him. Thoughts?

Would have been a much more solid signing than Purcell this past summer. Low risk, high reward. Instead we got low risk, low reward as usual.
orrrrr maybe he's a chronic ghost act with character and health issues who people would have complained about the moment we were linked to him.
The guy has worn down his welcome in every city and his own national team and people want him to play under Sutter?

Hell no. He's got zero heart for the playoffs. You'd be better off putting a jelly donut on the ice. At least the donut might distract someone on the other team for a second.
