The Los Angeles Kings are currently in a contract stalemate with forward Arthur Kaliyev while weighing a potential trade for Toronto Maple Leafs' unsigned forward Nick Robertson.

With $2.1 million in cap space, the Kings could offer around $1 million for Robertson. However, Toronto’s trade demands remain uncertain, as they typically keep their roster plans under wraps.

The Kings may consider trading younger prospects like Francesco Pinelli or Samuel Helenius to acquire the 22-year-old Robertson, viewed as a high-reward player.
