Mattias Norstrom was traded from the New York Rangers to Los Angeles during his third NHL season as part of an eight-player trade, and the Defenseman would remain with the Kings for 780 Games, making him one of the more tenured players in franchise history.

Norstrom had far more ice time in L.A., and while he was not a blueliner who would rush the offensive end, he could protect his own end of the ice and was so well regarded that he was named an All-Star in both 1999 and 2004. The shutdown defender managed to accumulate 142 Points for Los Angeles before he was traded to Dallas late in the 2006-07 Season.
