Kings' Defense Puzzle Needs Cap Magic | Los Angeles Kings News
Description

While young star Brandt Clarke is locked in long-term, the team’s offensive struggles demand a top-pairing defenseman who can generate offense from the blue line. General manager Ken Holland’s true test? Making the tough moves to free up space—because the need is clear, the solution is just out of reach.
