The Los Angeles Kings have made some additions to their blue line after losing Vladislav Gavrikov this summer, but they have been linked to another defender as the offseason continues.
In a recent article from The Fourth Period, the Kings were connected to Calgary Flames' defender Rasmus Andersson.
Andersson, who is 28 years old, scored 11 goals and added 20 assists for 31 points through 81 games last season. Through 536 career games, he has scored 47 goals and added 184 assists for 231 points.
He is considered one of the strongest all-around defensemen in the NHL, and while there were rumblings the Kings had a strong trade on the table for Andersson, it doesn't sound like there is mutual interest from Andersson in playing for the Kings.
