If the LA Kings are still potentially looking for defenseman, one player they were linked to is no longer an option.
The Los Angeles Kings were busy adding to their defense this summer with the free agent signings of Cody Ceci and Brian Dumoulin. However, even with the moves, there was still some hope, as unlikely as it could be, that general manager Ken Holland wasn't finished and could still add some talent to their blue line.
One of the popular names around the league on the trade block was Bowen Byram, and he was reportedly even a player the Kings were trying to acquire.
