Samuel Helenius showcased his competitive spirit during an intersquad game by dropping the gloves with Jeff Malott, highlighting the intense atmosphere at the Kings' training camp. This altercation, along with others, reflects the heightened intensity likely influenced by the players brought in during the offseason and the coaching style of Jim Hiller. Fans are excited to see such fervent displays from younger players as they battle for positions.

Samuel Helenius is identified as a potential trade asset for the Kings if they pursue Nick Robertson. As a younger prospect, he could pique the interest of the Maple Leafs, who are likely seeking players ready for the NHL or those close to making that jump.
