With Los Angeles Kings captain and top-line center Anze Kopitar retiring at the end of the season, there is going to be a giant gaping hole in the team's roster.

It seemed assumed that 23-year-old Quinton Byfield would be the eventual successor of Kopitar and blossom into the team's first-line center. However, to this point, the second-overall pick of the 2020 draft hasn't grown into the role like the organization probably hoped. 

Therefore, Kings GM Ken Holland may need to work the phones again this summer to find some help up the middle if they want to remain a playoff contender.

Byfield has 13 goals and 33 points in 60 games, which isn't the level of a first-liner. It seems sensible to find another middleman to support Byfield, like a first-line and second-line center tandem.

Here are four centers that the Kings can look to in the upcoming off-season, in no particular order.

Nick Schmaltz, Utah Mammoth

Nick Schmaltz is the only player on this list who will be a UFA at the end of the year. He's in the final year of a five-year contract that paid him $5.85 million per season. 

Schmaltz will likely require a significant raise in his new deal, as he is on pace for the best campaign of his 10-year career.

The 30-year-old has already reached a personal best with 24 goals this season, along with 35 assists and 59 points. With that production across 64 games for the Utah Mammoth, Schmaltz is on track to record 75 points, blowing his career-high 63 points from last year out of the water.

In January, there were reports about the Kings potentially pursuing Schmaltz in the off-season, and that makes plenty of sense for the organization.

Report: Kings Could Be After Nick Schmaltz If He Becomes A UFAThe Los Angeles Kings are preparing for the loss of Anze Kopitar when he retires at the end of the year. They'll need a little more than Quinton Byfield in their top six at center, and Utah Mammoth's Nick Schmaltz could come into play in the summer.

Elias Pettersson, Vancouver Canucks

There have been some soft trade rumors regarding Elias Pettersson ahead of the passing of the NHL trade deadline. However, nothing has been done on that front. 

Part of the reason that Pettersson hasn't been moved by the Vancouver Canucks is likely because of his current contract. He's only in the second-year of an eight-year deal that pays him $11.6 million per season. 

Taking on the rest of Pettersson's contract isn't an easy task, especially when his recent play is considered. The 27-year-old has 13 goals and 38 points in 56 games. Not to mention, he finished with 15 goals and 45 points in 64 games last season, the worst totals of his NHL career.

While Pettersson hasn't been playing to what he's worth against the salary cap, the Canucks are reportedly not interested in retaining his salary. It's not surprising that that would be a deal-breaker for GMs across the NHL, including Holland.

Los Angeles Kings' List Of Rumored Trade Targets Ahead Of NHL Trade DeadlineWith the NHL trade deadline just days away, it's unknown how aggressive Los Angeles Kings GM Ken Holland will be on the trade front. Nonetheless, here is a list of players that have been linked to the Kings in trade rumors this season.

But in a perfect world, Vancouver's Pettersson would be a great candidate to be a top-six center on Los Angeles. Don't forget, though the Swede has struggled in the past couple of years, before that, he registered 89- and 102-point campaigns.

Maybe he just needs a change of scenery.

Robert Thomas, St. Louis Blues

Robert Thomas was one of the stars who was reportedly available at the trade deadline this year. Ultimately, the St. Louis Blues did not move him, which is likely because the asking price was fairly high, and he also has a no-trade clause on his contract.

With that, he's in the third year of an eight-year deal, earning an average annual value of $8.125 million. That contract lasts until the end of the 2030-31 season.

There haven't been plenty of connections or strong rumors linking the Kings and Robert Thomas together. But there was a conversation where TSN's Darren Dreger said that Thomas could be a fit in Los Angeles.

Thomas, 26, has 15 goals and 40 points in 46 appearances this season. He's on a six-game point streak, recording 10 points in that span. Last year, he registered a career-high 81 points, made up of 21 goals and 60 assists.

Vincent Trocheck, New York Rangers

Many expected the New York Rangers to trade away Vincent Trocheck at the passing trade deadline. However, Rangers GM Chris Drury couldn't find a deal that matched his or the player's preference.

In fairness to the Blueshirts, even though Trocheck would've fetched them a valuable return, there is no rush to move the veteran center as he has term left on his contract. 

After this season, Trocheck will have three more years left on his deal, earning $5.625 million against the salary cap.

It was made clear that Trocheck prefers to stay in the Eastern Conference if he were to get traded. So even if Holland wants to circle back on the 32-year-old in the summer, the chances of agreeing on a deal seem unlikely, especially with his 10-team no-trade clause beginning July 1.

ST. LOUIS – Has the ink even dried yet on the paperwork that sent Brayden Schenn to the New York Islanders on Friday?

Maybe. Maybe not, but no matter what, that reunion is already upon us.

Schenn, a staple for hockey in St. Louis and the St. Louis Blues the past nine seasons, who was in his third season as captain, makes his return to face his old club here on Tuesday when the suddenly hot Blues (25-29-9) host the Islanders (35-23-5) at 6:30 p.m. in a nationally televised game on TNT.

Perhaps it’s best that things played out this way, get it out of the way as quick as you can so the player doesn’t have to think about it looking down the road, but for the 34-year-old, down the road literally meant a few short days.

“I don’t even know how to describe it. Weird,” Schenn said Tuesday morning. “When you get traded, you don’t think it’s going to happen that fast with everything. Just coming in, a couple former teammates came over yesterday playing mini sticks with my kids, now you’re facing them tonight, but the reality is it’s going to be different for sure. I got a job to do and play those guys hard, talk to them after.”

On Tuesday, Schenn will be, for the first time, opposing someone in a Blues sweater since 2017. That’s a long time. But there’s a lot of reflection about where he was and where he is now.

“Where do I start with everything,” Schenn said. “Just first and foremost, it’s an incredible place to play. The organization, the people, my teammates, a lot of good friends. Not just from this team but from the whole time I’ve been here. The fans and the people in the community are extremely special. They’re always there to help you out, they’re always here to cheer you on. It was just a great place to play for nine and a half years.”

The Blues will give their former captain obviously a thunderous ovation. A Stanley Cup champion, a big reason why they won it, won’t be forgotten.

“I hope to get a good reception,” Schenn said. “Obviously that’s what every player hopes for anyways. The fans were so good to me when I was here. I tried to come in with my time here, play the right way. I’ve said it before, play for the guys who wore the jersey before me. It’s been a great organization with a long history with a lot of great players. You feel like you owe it to them to go out there and put in a solid effort every night you wore the Bluenote. I’ve had a lot of people in this organization and in the community that’s helped along the way.”

Blues coach Jim Montgomery knows it won’t be easy to see Schenn on the other side.

“It’s going to be hard, being honest,” Montgomery said. “Meant a lot what he did in his career here as a Blue. Won a Cup, incredible teammate, incredible person in our community. His family, awesome; his wife, his kids. And then for me personally, coming here, he was unbelievable to work with as a captain. The communication was always there. I always knew where his heart and head was and what he stood for. I can’t thank him enough for how much he helped me.

“I think he’s going to get a huge reception. And deservedly so. He earned it.”

Former teammate and Blues winger Dylan Holloway agreed.

“I can’t imagine his turnaround, but it’s going to be weird for us too,” Holloway said. “He’s such a big part of our locker room. He’s a huge presence, huge personality and ultimately a great captain, a great leader and great friend. It’s definitely going to be weird to see him and hopefully he gets the ovation he deserves. He’s done a lot for this organization, a lot for all of us.

“He meant a lot to me. Great captain, great leader. I think of him as a great friend too. A friend for life. He’s just such a good guy. We were definitely able to have some good (memories) together with the whole team. I can’t speak enough about his character.”

Blues center Robert Thomas said, “It’s going to be really weird obviously. I think it’s going to be more weird for him than us, but hopefully he gets an amazing ovation. He’s been such a true leader here, such a a big part of bringing the city the first Stanley Cup. I know the fans will really show the appreciation for him tonight.”

But for Schenn, it was time to move on. He came to that realization when the Blues asked him for a second straight deadline if he’d waive his no-trade clause. Last year, it was still a full NTC. This year, it was a modified 15-team NTC.

“Last year, we had good momentum building into the playoffs,” Schenn said. “They asked me, obviously wasn't ready and made the playoffs and worked out in that regard.

“When you get asked two times in two years, the second makes your decision a lot easier, I would say. Not because I didn't love the organization and the city and everything else. They felt like they needed to go in a different direction and me and Justin Faulk were the guys out this year. That's just the reality of the business. No hard feelings. It's just kind of what you're faced with the business and where they're heading in their direction. I’m happy to be a part of this Islander organization. It’s been unbelievable for this short amount of time. The guys have been extremely welcoming. Everyone in the organization’s helped me out as much as they can. It’s not an easy transition moving midseason with three kids and everything else, but obviously the people around me made the transition as easy as possible.”

So when he steps on the ice Tuesday for keeps, just let the emotions go.

“There’s not much you can do,” Schenn said. “It’s been a crazy four days, five days. Not much sleep with everything that’s going on.”

Theo Lindstein will make his NHL debut against the Islanders.

The defenseman, who was recalled along with Otto Stenberg on Monday from Springfield of the American Hockey League, will become the third of three first-round picks by the Blues in 2023 to play in the NHL now, along with Stenberg and Dalibor Dvorsky.

“Unreal. I’m excited. It’s going to be fun,” Lindstein said. “I’ve got my family and it’s going to be fun.

“All of us were in that first round there and to have everyone here, it’s nice to have ‘Dvo.’ He speaks Swedish too. It’s good for me and for Otto too. It’s cool that we’re here together.”

Lindstein’s play in Springfield as of late had been really coming on, and Lindstein credits former Blues associate coach and current Thunderbirds coach Steve Ott for the transition.

Lindstein had six points (four goals, two assists) in 19 games since Ott replaced Steve Konowalchuk on Jan. 19.

“Since ‘Otter’ got down to Springfield, I feel like my game has been way better and I’ve been skating a lot more and getting used to the ice over here,” Lindstein said. “It took a couple games to get used to everything, but I feel good right now and ready to go tonight.

“Just play my game, use my skating more. Skate out from situations out on the ice and use my body more without the puck. That’s the thing we’ve been talking about and I’ve been feeling way better the last couple weeks.”

Lindstein will be paired with Colton Parayko, who returns after missing five games with back spasms.

“I think any time you get a talented young man like that ... I saw him this morning and talked to him about what a wonderful opportunity it is,” Montgomery said. “His smile and his eyes … he’s just so excited to play tonight. I think that energy’s going to be really good for us having to play in less than 48 hours after our last game coming back from two time zones.”

“Since ‘Otter’ got down to Springfield, I feel like my game has been way better and I’ve been skating a lot more and getting used to the ice over here,” Lindstein said. “It took a couple games to get used to everything, but I feel good right now and ready to go tonight.

“Just play my game, use my skating more. Skate out from situations out on the ice and use my body more without the puck. That’s the thing we’ve been talking about and I’ve been feeling way better the last couple weeks.”

Lindstein will be paired with Colton Parayko, who returns after missing five games with back spasms.

“I think any time you get a talented young man like that ... I saw him this morning and talked to him about what a wonderful opportunity it is,” Montgomery said. “His smile and his eyes … he’s just so excited to play tonight. I think that energy’s going to be really good for us having to play in less than 48 hours after our last game coming back from two time zones.”

William Nylander, like most of the Toronto Maple Leafs' players during this last stretch of games, looks dejected.

It's a brand new situation for Nylander, who, like Auston Matthews and a few others on the team, hasn't experienced missing the playoffs in the NHL yet. As it stands, Toronto is 11 points out of a playoff spot, with 18 games remaining in its season.

They've also lost their last seven games coming out of the Olympic break. To put it into more of a perspective, though: Toronto has lost 13 of its last 16 games, dating back to Jan. 13 against the Utah Mammoth.

"I mean, hard to really stay optimistic in this situation," a down Nylander said on Tuesday, ahead of the Maple Leafs' game against the Montreal Canadiens. "But yeah, just try to get a win."

This year has been difficult for Nylander for a multitude of reasons.

He's missed 17 games this year due to a lingering groin injury. He lost out on a medal at the Winter Olympics in Milan, Italy, falling in the quarterfinals to his Maple Leafs teammate, Auston Matthews, and the United States.

(A positive is that, despite missing games, Nylander still leads the Maple Leafs with 21 goals and 59 points in 47 games this season.)

Now, for the first time in his career, Nylander's season will end in mid-April, while half of the NHL gears up for the postseason.

"At the beginning there, after the break, it was a lot of frustration and everything," Nylander continued.

"But now, I mean, it's not going to help being frustrated. I think the mood in the locker room has changed a little bit, and I think that's made it a better environment for everybody."

If there's any positive in this situation, it's that the Maple Leafs aren't too far off from being a playoff team once again. They've still got the core pieces, like a Matthews, a Nylander, a John Tavares.

Even Tampa Bay Lightning head coach Jon Cooper believes this season is a one-off for Toronto.

But what does Nylander think?

"I sure hope that's the case," he said. "Otherwise... yeah."

'Everyone's Almost A Target': Maple Leafs' Matthew Knies Reacts To Name Being In Trade SpeculationKnies signed a six-year, $46.5 million contract with the Maple Leafs last June.

Matthews, after Monday's practice, said he sees a path back towards contention soon.

"Yeah, of course. I mean, I remember the Lightning missed the playoffs one year, and then the next year they're back at the top of the division competing. I look at a team like Boston this year that had a down year, and same thing, like they're in the mix," Toronto's captain said.

"Sometimes that happens, and we've been fortunate to be in the playoffs for the last nine years or so. And you kind of hope that it's a one-off and we can continue to build and continue to be in contention.

"Obviously, the focus is on right now and trying to get our game back and trying to get in the win column. But obviously, it's something you think about."

As mentioned, this is a unique situation for several Maple Leafs players. They've never been in this position, nor will they want to be in it again after this season.

Why The Maple Leafs Are Separating Auston Matthews And William Nylander Ahead Of Canadiens MatchupFollowing an 0-5-2 slump and an 11-game goalless drought for Auston Matthews, the Maple Leafs are returning to familiar lineup combinations in hopes of igniting a stagnant offense.

However, you've got to attempt to finish the year on a positive note. While fans might want the team to get as close to the bottom of the standings for draft purposes, head coach Craig Berube and his players are likely looking in the opposite direction.

It's a difficult balance for a team. But battling through it is the only way to get back on track positively, says Berube. 

"I mean, [Nylander has] always been in [the playoffs] and it's new for him, for sure. But, you know, every player and team goes through adversity at one point in their career, and this is some adversity that he's normally not used to. And like I said, he's got to work his way out of it."

J.T Miller appears to be inching toward a return to the New York Rangers’ lineup. 

The Rangers placed Miller on injured reserve on March 3 after a game against the Columbus Blue Jackets due to an upper-body injury. 

It’s the second time Miller has missed time with an upper-body injury, but both injuries are reportedly not related and are entirely separate. 

Mike Sullivan insinuated that Miller got hurt around the time he was hit in the head with a puck in the third period of the Rangers’ 5-4 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on March 2.

The 32-year-old forward returned to the ice for the first time on Tuesday for the Rangers’ morning skate ahead of their matchup against the Calgary Flames, wearing a red non-contact jersey. 

“Pretty well,” Sullivan said about how Miller is progressing. “He's had a number of skates on his own with our skill guys. He joined the group today. Obviously, that suggests progress.”

Mike Sullivan's Shift In Philosophy Greatly Benefits Rangers' Youth The New York <a href="https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/new-york-rangers/">Rangers</a>’ dominant 6-2 win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday night was led by the impressive play of some of the team’s young talent.

Miller has missed the past three games, but he’s slated to shed his red non-contact jersey soon and hence return to the lineup, likely sometime in the coming games.

“We'll take each day as it comes, but I would anticipate sooner than later,” Sullivan said about whether Miller is close to shedding his non-contact jersey.

Miller’s appearance at the morning skate on Tuesday indicates that he could join the team on their road trip to Winnipeg and Minnesota this week.

We're in for a heavyweight tilt between the Edmonton Oilers and the Colorado Avalanche.

It’ll be the Connor McDavid vs. Nathan MacKinnon show in Denver tonight, but my Oilers vs. Avalanche predictions focus on Edmonton's captain.

Find out why in my NHL picks for March 10.

Oilers vs Avalanche prediction

Oilers vs Avalanche best bet: Connor McDavid Over 1.5 points (+100)

Connor McDavid is priced at +100 to go Over his posted total of 1.5 points tonight, a line he's eclipsed in five of his last six outings — averaging two points per game over that stretch. 

The Colorado Avalanche's penalty kill has been sloppy of late, allowing at least one goal in six of their last seven games. 

This should be an avenue where McDavid can get an edge on Colorado, as the Edmonton Oilers have an NHL-best power play operating at a 32.7% clip — and McDavid is leading the league with 43 power-play points.

Oilers vs Avalanche same-game parlay

This is a matchup of two offensive juggernauts with suspect goaltending. The Over is 7-1-2 in the Oilers’ last 10 games, and it's hit in three straight meetings between these two clubs.

Evan Bouchard leads all NHL blueliners with 73 points, 55 of which are assists. He’s recorded at least one helper in seven straight games.

Jordan Kyrou and the St. Louis Blues get set to host the New York Islanders this evening at Enterprise Center.

My Islanders vs. Blues predictions expect Kyrou’s shot volume to remain strong against a mid-tier shot suppression side.

Let’s take a closer look at my NHL picks for Tuesday, March 10.

Islanders vs Blues prediction

Islanders vs Blues best bet: Jordan Kyrou Over 2.5 shots (+100)

Jordan Kyrou has registered at least three shots in seven of his past 10 games, but the uptick in volume dates back further. It aligns with moving to a line with Jake Neighbours a few months back.

Kyrou has skated with Neighbours 20 times since December 1 and cleared 2.5 shots in 15 of them (75%). He was also within striking distance in three of the five Unders, landing on two shots in each.

The New York Islanders rank 23rd in shots allowed in the slot, and that’s where a lot of Kyrou’s volume comes from.

Islanders vs Blues same-game parlay

Tony DeAngelo has done a great job of generating shots from the point, particularly on the road.

He's averaged 2.7 shots on goal and gone Over 1.5 shots in 14 of his last 19 away games vs. teams outside the Top 10 in shot suppression. The St. Louis Blues also rank 29th in shots allowed to his primary shooting zone over their last 10.

The Blues have dropped seven of their past eight contests against Top 10 teams in limiting goals against. Led by all-world goaltender Ilya Sorokin, the Islanders sit fifth.

Islanders vs Blues SGP

• Jordan Kyrou Over 2.5 shots
• Tony DeAngelo Over 1.5 shots
• Islanders moneyline

Islanders vs Blues odds

• Moneyline: Islanders -120 | Blues +100
• Puck Line: Islanders -1.5 (+205) | Blues +1.5 (-250)
• Over/Under: Over 5.5 (-105) | Under 5.5 (-115)

Islanders vs Blues trend

Jordan Kyrou has averaged 3.4 shots on goal over his last seven home dates. Find more NHL betting trends for Islanders vs. Blues.
