Anton Khudobin, $1.5m (2013-2016)
C - Dylan Larkin (2014: 1/15 - 0 Games)

Traded to Blackhawks
G - Andrey Vasilevskiy (2012: 1/14 - 16 Games) GP updated Apr12, 2015
Ryan Garbutt, $2.3m (2014-2017)

Ottawa management want to translate Vasilevsky's potential into real production immediately. This trade is the realization of that.

Senators are one year removed from the Franchise NHL Presidents Trophy in 2013-14 and need to capitalize on a strong core of players that remain from that team.

Khudobin is capable of taking on a heavier workload while Budaj has the potential of earning the Back-Up role in Los Angeles.

Dylan Larkin is a diamond in the rough and the 2016 First Round Draft pick both ensure our minor league system remains healthy.

Chicago to confirm this trade. Thank you PPG for the professional trade talks.

Los Angeles management is pleased to announce a trade with the Calgary Flames.

Traded to Los Angeles Kings
Nino Niederreiter, $3.3m (2013-2016)
Matt Hendricks, $0.5m (2014-2016)
C - Axel Holmstrom (2014: 7/196 - 0 Games)


Traded to Calgary Flames
Tomas Hertl, $1.5m (2013-2016-EL)
Nate Guenin, $0.5m (2014-2016)
D - Xavier Ouellet (2011: 2/48 - 25 Games) GP updated Apr12, 2015

Kings complete this trade to acquire a talented Winger in Niederreiter who can play on either side and we feel is an improvement over Hertl. We give up a pair on young Defensemen along with Tomas Hertl but feel the players coming to Los Angeles will help us more in 2015-16.

Calgary to confirm.

Round 1 - 2015 (from ; through ; originally )

Los Angeles management has spent the past month working on completing this trade with our Chicago counterpart. Many moving parts to this complex deal that addresses present and future needs.

We had been shopping Benn and Khudobin separately but when Chicago asked about both we built upon that interest and inquired about Carter and Luongo's availability.

There was a great deal of negotiating as this impacts the core of our respective teams. However I believe both teams get what they need from this trade.

Chicago to confirm. Thank-you for your patience PPG!
