The Fourth Period: Kings GM Rob Blake is looking to acquire a top-four defenseman and a top-nine forward.
When Jeff Carter returns, the Kings could move Adrian Kempe to their third-line center. If they went this route, they could look for a top-line left winger.
The Kings have been linked to Patrick Maroon, Max Pacioretty, and Michael Grabner.
The Kings would also like to move winger Marian Gaborik and his contract. The 35-year old right winger has three years left at $4.
