Great news. Dude is such a good fit. Adds some size and speed, with a touch of offense in there too.

Hearing Kings have around $2mil left. I would bet money that LA is not comfortable going Copley #1 and someone behind him, so we shall see what else maybe goes down. They said the Petersen trade was also to protect Arvidsson, Trevor Moore, and/or Iafallo from being traded, but if the Kings want to upgrade their goaltending situation, I would imagine one of those guys is still in the mix. Also saw a post somewhere saying Kings looked at getting Juuse Saros before the trade deadline for a massive package that included multiple 1sts, and they said Kings could revisit that. But obviously just a rumor. Same with Hellebuyck rumors.
