Curtis Zupke of the Los Angeles Times: Kings GM Rob Blake won’t make a move for the sake of making a move. They’ve struggled of late but they won’t let that influence their trade deadline strategy. Blake said he’s not actively working the phones.
“I don’t think it’s any different conversations than you have at any other time of the year,” Blake said. “Obviously, with the deadline a month away, more conversations may take place. I don’t think it’s winning or losing that’s going to create that .”
The Kings initially thought they could use another top-four defenseman, but lately, it looks like they could also use some offense.
