## Resource

The LA Kings are reportedly closing in on a one-year deal with veteran defenseman Erik Gustafsson, a savvy addition who knows new coach Peter Laviolette’s system from his time with Washington and New York. 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.
