Kings Double Down on Pettersson Blockbuster
The LA Kings crank up the heat on Vancouver, reportedly doubling their pursuit of Elias Pettersson as they chase a Pacific Division splash to bolster Anze Kopitar's twilight years. With Kevin Fiala sidelined and fresh off landing Artemi Panarin, GM Rob Blake eyes the Canucks star's $11.6 million skill set, cap space be damned. Pettersson's full no-movement clause looms large, but his wife's LA roots could tip the scales if Vancouver bites before the deadline.
