#LAKings TRADE ALERT: Kings Acquire Viktor Arvidsson From Nashville Predators (MayorsManor)

The Los Angeles Kings have acquired Victor Arvidsson from the Nashville Predators in exchange for a pair of draft picks.
Hints of the deal were first reported by Elliotte Friedman early this morning and MayorsManor was able to gather the final details.
He’s a 28 year old forward with a right shot, something LA wanted to address this offseason. Arvidsson also checks one of the two key boxes GM Rob Blake was looking to address, which is adding two legit forwards with NHL experience. Originally drafted by Nashville in 2014, Arvidsson has played 385 games in Nashville since making his debut one year later. He averaged more than 30 goals from 2017-19 before an injury shortened season in 2019-20. During 2021, he had 25 points in 50 games for the Predators.

Arvisson is signed for three more seasons with a cap hit of $4.25M.
LA had two second round picks this year to work with, their own and one they received from Toronto last year in the Kyle Clifford deal. This trade for Arvidsson involved the Kings 2021 selection, so they’re still holding the Maple Leafs pick.
Arvidsson has earned a medal all three times he’s represented his native Sweden on the international stage – including a gold medal at the 2018 IIHF World Championship, where he was teammates with Adrian Kempe and Lias Andersson.
Regarding the upcoming Seattle Expansion Draft, Arvidsson will most likely replace Carl Grundstrom on the Kings protected list.
More to come soon. We will be constantly updating this throughout the day.
