In Arvidsson, the Kings land a gritty, fearless winger who can also score goals. At 28 years old, he is still young enough to become part of the team's rebuilding plan moving forward. He is under contract for three more seasons.

For the Predators, this deal seems mostly motivated by the expansion draft. Nashville is likely to protect eight skaters and a goaltender, so moving out Arvidsson alleviates the need to protect the latter. The Preds also got back two solid future assets.

He was mainly a first-line player in Nashville, but he is likely to take on more of a supporting role in Hollywood. The change of scenery may serve Arvidsson well, so his fantasy stock may rise slightly.
