Los Angeles Kings trades away 2024 Draft Pick, Round 7 (Los Angeles Kings) Reilly Smith 2025 Draft Pick, Round 3 (Los Angeles Kings)
Dallas Stars trades away Jimmy Vesey 2024 Draft Pick, Round 5 (Dallas Stars) 2025 Draft Pick, Round 12 (Buffalo Sabres)
have been weighing out my options since the draft, decided to have R. Smith as the cap casualty and rolling with Ekholm and Vesey. There was just too little defensive options out there in the draft. Made sense to get a decent pick for when I have to retool in exchange for cap space and a UFA upgrade and player for Dallas, who can then flip him or keep him for himself. Thanks Jupaq!

I'm gambling Smith remains fairly productive 2025-26 and that his next contract comes at a lower AAV. Vesey is only valuable because of his salary, but he might not even be in the NHL anymore at that point. The prospect I would pick probably won't be there yet either.
