What is your prediction on Iafallo's future with the Kings? Re-signed Traded at deadline Leaves as a UFA Created with

Follow me on Twitter: @BenShelley_20 The Los Angeles Kings have been moving quickly on their rebuild and next season, you can expect the Kings to do what they can to continue stockpiling prospects and picks. There may be one more notable player who could be shipped off at the deadline next season: Alex Iafallo.Iafallo had a great season with the Kings, on pace to score about 20 goals and 50 points in 82 games. Still just 26 years old, there could be an argument that he should be kept as part of the Kings’ group going forward. But there are a few things to consider with Iafallo.This year, while he certainly had an increase in production, increased ice time can be a contributing factor to inflating his point totals. He saw a two-minute per game increase in ice time from last season and was playing a ton, with his ice time on par with Claude Giroux, David Pastrnak and Mikko Rantanen, amongst others. He also got way more power play time this year and considering how much he was playing, his numbers weren’t really all that high.Another point is that Los Angeles doesn’t really have any other trade chips. After shipping out the likes of Jack Campbell, Kyle Clifford, Alec Martinez and Tyler Toffoli, there aren’t many players who could still be moved. Dustin Brown and Jeff Carter are both likely too old and expensive to be dealt even if salary was retained, at least next season, considering they’ll both come with a little bit of term left. Jonathan Quick’s trade value is also at an all-time low. The majority of players on the roster are either young enough to keep around or don’t carry any significant trade value.If his production is replicated, it’s probably a good idea for the Kings to cash in on him while his value is high. We saw this with Jean-Gabriel Pageau, who has consistently been scoring only about 30-40 points per year but upon getting an increased role with Ottawa this season, his numbers skyrocketed to put him on pace for about 55 points. As a result, the Senators got back a first and second-round pick for him at the deadline.Realistically, Iafallo was in a larger role than he’s probably meant for and on a contending team, he’s likely a third-line player. If he’s moved, worst case, his numbers would also be quite easy to replace in free agency at a low cost when the time is right. While Iafallo is versatile and can kill penalties as well, if he’s able to produce at the same rate next season, moving him could be the right option to continue to build for the future.Here’s the poll question for the day (results and discussion will be posted on the weekend):
