After trading <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/t\/toffoty01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tyler Toffoli<\/a> it seemed the team may have been further from contention, however that is not the case. This team is littered with veteran talent and also has one of the best prospect pools in the league. Adding Kane would make them deep up front and give them another explosive winger. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">How Can LA Make The Move? <\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">To get a player of Kane&#8217;s calibre it is going to take an arsenal to get him. For a rebuilding team like the Chicago Blackhawks, acquiring prospects and draft picks is essential when unloading a star talent. The Kings have the picks and <a href=\"https:\/\/hockeyroyalty.com\/2022\/08\/25\/la-kings-top-20-prospects-rankings-post-wjc\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the prospects<\/a> to land Kane. Los Angeles may be hesitant to include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/b\/byfiequ01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Quinton Byfield<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/c\/clarkbr02.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brandt Clarke<\/a>, but they could include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/t\/turcoal02.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alex Turcotte<\/a>. He is a native of Illinois and could enjoy playing for the team in the state he is from. The Kings may or may not attempt to make this move, but the prospective talent should entice Chicago if they come calling. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Boost To The Kings<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Chicago Blackhawks Patrick Kane would be an immediate boost to the King&#8217;s lineup. This core has shaped up nicely with veterans <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/k\/kopitan01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anze Kopitar<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/d\/doughdr01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Drew Doughty<\/a>. In addition, they have younger players contributing in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/k\/kempead01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Adrian Kempe<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/i\/iafalal01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alex Iafallo<\/a> and others.
