Who are some young top six wingers available that could help boost the Kings offense? Would preferably want a player who's younger than 27.

Players I'd be willing to move: Muzzin, Martinez, Forbort, Pearson, Rieder, and Lewis.

Tyler Ennis has been described as a "top 6 foward" :naughty:

I do think Minnesota is going to be listening to offers on Zucker, Coyle and Nino, but I'm not sure that the Kings are a good match there since we don't need defense. Unless we move out a defender in a separate move, which is unlikely but not impossible.

Something around Girgensons for Lewis?
I know he’s not “top-6” but he can play a bruisers game up there and a change of scenery would probably do him very well.

If they're moving a forward then what are they looking for if it's not a defenseman?

I personally feel Nelson would be better served as a LW then Center, Would be willing to trade for any of the defensemen you mentioned(besides Fobert)

It's hard to say, but a younger, less proven forward with good upside would be of interest to me personally. Kind of a lateral move, but Minnesota's a team that seems to be less than the sum of its parts right now, so it makes sense to roll the dice if the option presents itself. Adrian Kempe is a good example, but I'm pretty sure I know how Kings fans feel about trading him. Rightfully so.

It's really up in the air until we have a new GM and they give us some kind of indication of where their mind is at, though.

Baertschi (RFA) could be had, for the right offer. None of the specific pieces mentioned stand out to me, value not withstanding, but would he fit the Kings top six need as a natural LW?

Not sure what you mean by 'young' but Minnesota has some in their mid 20s.

Niederrieter, Zucker, Coyle could probably he had for the right price. Granlund probably not.

I would do something around nino for muzzin. Would allow Minnesota to move another defenseman if inclined.
