The Kings are a solid team that can make playoffs and maybe even surprise a team and win a round but they aren't winning a cup with Dallas/Oiles/Avs/Jets in the conference and their window is going to close sooner rather than later as Kopi and Doughty can't go on forever.
People always scoff at these kind of suggestions because selling off every vet for draft picks and prospects is what you do every 5 years in a video game cause you're bored but in this instance it makes sense for LA IMO.
Kempe, Danault, Fiala, and Gavrikov are genuinely very valuable pieces that can each return a 1st + prospect.
Sell them off, let Doughty and Kopi ride off into the sunset in LA if they so choose or trade them cheaply to their desired destination if they want another crack at it and build around Byfield, Clarke, and your new boatloads of picks and prospects.
What good is being a playoff bubble team for 2 more years?
