The Kings followed their major trade with Jonathan Quick by dealing for Flyers forward Zack MacEwen before the NHL trade deadline.
Jonathan Quick led the Kings to two Stanley Cup championships, but for them to contend again the front office needed to make changes.So many prominent moves were made in the days leading up to the deadline — including Jakob Chychrun being traded from Arizona to Ottawa and Patrick Kane moving from Chicago to the New York Rangers — that deadline day was unusually quiet.
The Kings traded pugnacious but little-used forward Brendan Lemieux and a 2024 fifth-round draft pick to the Philadelphia Flyers for forward Zach MacEwen. And, in an exchange of minor league players, they acquired forward Nate Schnarr from the Montreal Canadiens for defenseman Frederic Allard.The Ducks received left wing Brock McGinn and a 2024 third-round draft pick from the Penguins for Kulikov. They retained 50% of Kulikov’s salary.
For Klingberg, who had signed a one-year deal with the Ducks as a free agent last summer but hurt his trade value with his poor defensive play on a terrible defensive team, the Ducks acquired from Minnesota a fourth-round draft pick in 2025, Boston College center Nikita Nesterenko, and defenseman Andrej Sustr. The Ducks retained 50% of Klingberg’s salary in the deal.The deadline was noon Pacific time Friday. The NHL said 21 trades involving 34 players were made Friday.
