## Resource

The LA Kings eye a new Swedish core led by Adrian Kempe. Could a move to center and the arrival of top prospect Elton Hermanssen transform the team’s offensive firepower in the near future? Eddie Garcia welcomes acclaimed Swedish hockey journalist Gunnar Nordstrom, soon to be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, for exclusive insights on the Kings’ evolving Swedish connection, the battle for No. 1 goalie between Darcy Kuemper and Anton Forsberg, and more. The conversation also explores rumors of an Elias Pettersson trade to LA.
