They shouldn't be, but Luc and Blake are idiots, so...
It does look a little like a Trotz move from a distance. Doughty missed a ton of time, is 35, comes back ... so they want to move their young d-man, who led the team in scoring from the backend I believe, to make room on the roster? At least they don't have to put him on the waiver wire and have that blow up in their face.
 
It would be nice to have a pipeline again of some good young D - Molendyk, Gibson and Clarke would make a nice three-headed defenseman monster.

Please note this is an educated observation. From what I’m seeing in media and scaring circles Molendyk and Gibson might be the new Cedar Webber if you’re bringing Clark, he might be the Ekholm?

Kings' prospect development has been very Predators-esque. He is a talented kid, but also definitely still has some holes in his game. It's also still just his first real season and they are still working Doughty back in. Even with the numbskulls in the Kings' FO I'd be surprised if there's much to this.
