Trade #5: Jaromir Jagr to Los Angeles

The Panthers are still within range of a playoff spot, and may claw their way back into the race by the time the deadline rolls around. But if not, moving Jagr and his expiring contract to a contender will be tempting for Florida's GM, whoever it happens to be on that particular day.

Why the Kings? Jagr certainly seems like a guy who'd fit in out in L.A., and the team could use an offensive boost. Dean Lombardi has never been shy about making midseason deals; he's won two Cups largely because of them. And the Kings have a little bit more cap room than you probably think, so they could find a way to add Jagr's deal.

And sure, the Kings aren't the best possible destination for Jagr. That would be Pittsburgh, where he could rejoin the franchise he started with, make up with the only fan base in the league that doesn't already love him, and chase his third Cup (and first in a quarter-century). That's the ideal situation.

But unfortunately, the Penguins are so capped out that it's hard to imagine a scenario where it all works out. So we'll go with L.A. instead, and cross our fingers for a Kings/Penguins Cup final matchup.
