LOS ANGELES — After making a splash earlier this week by trading goaltender Jonathan Quick to Columbus (and watching him move on to Vegas), the Kings completed only a couple of low-impact deals before the NHL trade deadline passed Friday with little fuss and few big names changing uniforms.
The Ducks, who sit near the bottom in the West, continued their rebuilding process by trading defenseman John Klingberg to Minnesota and defenseman Dmitry Kulikov to Pittsburgh.
The Kings basically were set after addressing their biggest problems by acquiring goalie Joonas Korpisalo and defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov from Columbus, a trade that was announced Wednesday.
