The Los Angeles Kings should be looking to make a few moves prior to the NHL Trade Deadline next month. They have done a pretty good job to this point of the season in terms of staying near the top of the Pacific Division when considering a majority of their games have been on the road.

After the 4 Nations Face-Off break, the Kings are going to be at home for a large portion of the remaining schedule, which is good news when considering they have one of the best home records in the NHL. However, they could use a little more help and should be looking to improve the roster for what will hopefully be a playoff berth.

If the Kings want to make an impact move at the NHL Trade Deadline, they are going to need to create a little more cap space. According to Puckpedia, the Kings have a little over $4.5 million deadline cap space but if they were to trade one of these three players, it would give them a lot more flexibility.
