Tic, tac, tic, tac…

Time is passing very quickly, as we are now only five days away from the trade deadline, which will take place this Friday, March 7th at 3:00 PM.

Rumors are intensifying more and more, and this is happening in all corners of the National Hockey League.

While we wonder what the status of the Montreal Canadiens will be by the trade deadline, several teams continue to show interest in Jake Evans, despite the recent successes of the Canadiens.

Even though the Canadiens are back in the playoffs, Jake Evans remains a highly sought-after player, with several teams interested in him.

One of these teams is reportedly the Los Angeles Kings, the team where the former Canadiens general manager, Marc Bergevin, now works.

In fact, according to a report by RG Media, the Los Angeles Kings are being very aggressive, as they want to improve their team.

In short, they are “all-in”, and Mikko Rantanen is also on their radar.

In fact, as we can read in the article above, the Los Angeles Kings are closely monitoring the situation of Mikko Rantanen in Carolina, and they are really ready to go get him before 3:00 PM on March 7th.

Of course, seeing Rantanen leave Carolina after only a few weeks is still very unlikely, but it is still a possibility, and the Kings are exploring it seriously.

What’s interesting is that the Kings have elements that would interest the Hurricanes in a potential trade.

There is a world where Rantanen could leave for Los Angeles and potentially sign with the Kings.

In short, L.A. is really all-in and wants to improve by March 7th, and especially avoid losing in the first round again.

This is the third year in a row that the Kings have been beaten in the first round by the Edmonton Oilers, and this season, everything is aligned for the two teams to meet again in the first round.

Adding Rantanen and perhaps even Evans would clearly help the Kings.

Even though they are well-stocked at center, the Kings are interested in Evans and are looking at his services.

Of course, this is a good thing for Kent Hughes, as the more teams that are interested, the more he can drive up the price, especially if the Canadiens don’t absolutely want to trade Evans.

Everything remains to be seen.
