Kings acquire Arvidsson from Predators for pair of picks

The Los Angeles Kings have acquired forward Viktor Arvidsson from the Nashville Predators for a 2021 second-round pick and a 2022 third-rounder, the Kings announced Thursday.

Arvidsson, 28, is coming off a disappointing 2020-21 season in which he had 25 points in 50 games. However, the two-time 30-goal-scorer was hindered by a 6.6% shooting percentage, which is well below his career average.

The Predators drafted Arvidsson in the fourth round in 2014. He's recorded 239 points in 385 games across seven campaigns. Arvidsson has three seasons remaining on his contract with a $4.25-million cap hit.
