Los Angeles Kings Trade Corey Perry to Tampa Bay Lightning: Prioritizing Future Assets Over Current Season

The Los Angeles Kings, in sell mode at the trade deadline, have traded veteran forward Corey Perry to the Tampa Bay Lightning for a second-round draft pick in 2028. The Kings are retaining half of Perrys salary cap hit, and he waived his no-trade clause to facilitate the deal. This move follows the trade of winger Warren Foegele to the Ottawa Senators, indicating the Kings focus on rebuilding through the draft. Perry, who had been in extension talks with the Kings, will bring experience to the Lightning in the Atlantic Division. More trades are expected from Kings GM Ken Holland as they stockpile prospects and reshape the roster for the future.
