MOST LIKELY TO BE TRADED
1. Scott Thornton
Playoff contenders will have interest in a physical, veteran forward that can be had cheap.
2. Rob Blake
The 38-year-old can still play defense at a high level, especially when motivated. He did a good job grooming Jack Johnson, but he’s worth more to the Kings now in trade value than what he can do on the ice. He’s ready to return from his fractured leg, and the injury shouldn’t stop him from being traded.
3. Brad Stuart
Solid defenseman who can help a playoff team. He’s an unrestricted free agent after the season, and there’s no indication the Kings would be able to re-sign him.
