There was this report from Elliotte Friedman earlier today:

This morning, mentioned LA interested in Lucic but couldn't make it work. Understand LA/BOS revisiting it this afternoon. We'll see. — Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) June 26, 2015

And, as the afternoon hours ticked away in the lead-up to the first round of the NHL Draft tonight, this chatter began to reverberate. I’ve been told that in regards to a potential trade for Milan Lucic, the Kings are “working on it.”

Believe LA was waiting for medical clearance before making Lucic trade. Once they do, would expect it involves 13th pick among other pieces. — Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) June 26, 2015

Think it is also possible Martin Jones goes to BOS — Elliotte Friedman (@FriedgeHNIC) June 26, 2015

And, more from others:

If Lucic deal goes through, Bruins will get first-round pick from LA plus a couple of prospects — Pierre LeBrun (@Real_ESPNLeBrun) June 26, 2015





UPDATE: The deal has been finalized. More to come.
