100% no from LA!
Edit: LA isn't adding 6m to their cap for a player that is 5 years older. Panarin is great but not worth it. If LA is moving Kempe it's because they are rebuilding and would want Top prospects and picks

You must be a Rangers fan. Don’t think LA considers this at all.

I'm sure LA would be quite interested in adding Panarin. They aren't moving anyone from their 1st PP (not counting Kuzmenko) to do it though. That's counterproductive

Panarin would be a typical Kings move and I can see him fitting in nicely there. But as you said, not for Kempe.

Don't see a world where LA trades Kempe. Especially for an aging Panarin.

No chance from LA. Kempe is on a great contract and the rare player that has proven he can score in LA Uber defensive system.

LA Kings have female staff?
Keep him away from them.

LA do not need old and expensive NY garbage (Panarin and Kreider).
Kings need new coach and new GM.

Just tell them to keep tabs on their electronic devices at all times.

This team needs to blow it up starting at the top. Luc, Blake and that hanger-on Bergivan have got to go. Once that done, if Kempe is to be traded, it will be expensive and it will be for young players and futures to bump start the rebuild. There’s no need for vet contracts.
Interesting proposal. I don't think the age and cash gap makes up for the talent gap, so LA likely says no.
edit- age isn't a huge factor. Didn't realize Kempe is going into his age 29 season.

What if Kempe refuses to extend this summer? Do the Kings "self-rent" him for one more playoff run an lose him for nothing? Or do they trade him for a player or pieces that will be there longer than one year?

I think that definitely changes things for them. At that point I think they'd lean towards a rebuild. As a Rangers fan I'd love to get Kempe, I just don't think the Kings will trade him to add an older player. If the Kings were to add Panarin it would be in a push to win it all with Kempe on the roster imo.

I don't see Panarin pushing them over the hump when it comes to playoffs. Kempe hasn't been the problem in the playoffs and Panarin hasn't been impressive lately in the playoffs. This doesn't make sense since they both have 1 year on their cap, and Panarin cost more. The cap hit for Kempe is beautiful and even if he doesn't extend, there's no difference in losing him for nothing or losing Panarin for nothing. They should just keep what they have.

WAAAAAAA!!!
Sam Rosen just retired. We missed the window for harassing with Lafreniere and Laferriere on the same team.
Kings do not need Panarin with his salary and PR issues.
They need this money to resign Gavrikov and Jeannot
Would you be interested in Panarin to Kings for Kopitar, and Moore?

I can't see Kings sending Kopitar away to a team that might not even be contenders. It seems more of a deadline move if Kings are not in the playoffs and they want to send Kopitar to somewhere he can win
The only scenario in which I see Panarin traded to the Kings is if the Rangers need to clear cap space to sign Marner.
He would look really good next to Kopitar and Kempe. And if Kuzmenkovs demands are too rich that might be an avenue the Kings will explore, but they should never trade Kempe for him
