Panarin Deserves Top Spot Over Stone | Los Angeles Kings News

Mark Stone tops a list of the NHL’s best 34-year-olds, but Artemi Panarin’s glaring omission feels like a massive oversight. While Stone’s two-way brilliance and leadership propelled Vegas to the Cup Finals, his chronic injury issues—never playing 70+ games since 2018—cast doubt on his longevity. Panarin, meanwhile, has delivered elite, consistent production for nine straight seasons, averaging over a point per game, staying healthy, and inching toward 1,000 career points before his 900th game. His durability and offensive firepower make him the clear frontrunner for the best 34-year-old in the league. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Doughty’s Comeback Season | Los Angeles Kings News

Drew Doughty bounced back in 2025-26 with a resilient season, playing 72 games, scoring 5 goals and 18 assists, and suiting up for all four playoff games. After a rough January slump, he reignited his form post-Olympics, finishing strong with 2 goals and 8 points in his final 22 games. He stayed mostly healthy, missing only 10 games after missing half the prior season. Paired with Mikey Anderson, he led the team in expected goals for percentage and remained a crucial force on both ends of the ice. With one year left on his contract, Doughty’s future with the Kings is up in the air—but he still proved he’s a vital top-four defenseman and leader.

Gavrikov’s Trade Rumors Heating Up | Los Angeles Kings News

Vladislav Gavrikov’s future with the New York Rangers is suddenly in question as whispers swirl that he could be traded if the team struggles again this season. Signed to a long-term deal last year, Gavrikov came to New York hoping for contender status — but with key departures like Panarin and Trocheck, the vibe’s soured. A proven offensive defenseman who lit up the Kings’ blueline with 35 points last season, Gavrikov could be a perfect fit for LA’s top-four needs — but the Kings’ tight cap space and crowded defense corps make a reunion unlikely. For now, it’s all rumor — but if the Rangers falter, Gavrikov’s name will be front and center. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Kings' Center Depth Problem Looms | Los Angeles Kings News

The LA Kings are juggling immediate competitiveness with long-term rebuilding, having stocked up on promising young goalies like Hampton Slukynsky and Carter George—but their biggest weakness? Center. With Anze Kopitar retiring and Quinton Byfield as the lone high-potential center, the team’s future depth at that position remains thin. While they’ve made strides in wingers and netminders, filling the center void will likely require future drafts or savvy trades.

Kings' Draft Sacrifices Paid Off | Los Angeles Kings News

The LA Kings made bold, high-stakes moves by trading away two first-round picks in 2022 and 2023 to immediately bolster their roster—acquiring Kevin Fiala and Vladislav Gavrikov, who delivered strong performances, while the players selected with those picks, Liam Ohgren and Oliver Bonk, have since fallen in re-draft rankings. The gamble paid off in the short term, but fans still rue the loss of Brock Faber, who blossomed into a top defenseman for Minnesota.
