Kings Target Veteran Gustafsson | Los Angeles Kings News

At 34, Gustafsson offers experience and puck-moving ability but comes with durability concerns after limited play last season and injury history. While the short-term financial risk is low, this move alone doesn’t solve the team’s pressing need for top-four defensemen. Still, it signals the Kings’ strategy of adding familiar, reliable depth — a smart move as they gear up for the season.
