On August 14th, the LA Kings organization celebrates a pivotal moment in their rich history. In 2012, the Kings made a bold move, acquiring forward Jeff Carter from the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for Jack Johnson, a first-round draft pick, and a conditional third-round draft pick. This trade marked a turning point in the team's fortunes, as Carter would go on to score crucial goals throughout the 2012-2013 season, ultimately helping the Kings claim their first Stanley Cup championship in franchise history. As the Kings prepare for another season, fans are reminiscing about the key moves that brought them their first championship, and August 14th serves as a reminder of the team's shrewd front office decisions.
