2017 NHL Draft recap: Ducks take five players

The Los Angeles Kings made seven overall selections during the 2017 NHL Draft in Chicago.

The class is headlined by center Gabrial Vilardi with the 11th overall selection.

“The draft is obviously a big weekend for us and it goes without saying that it is an integral way to not only build the team, but to sustain growth and stability. Our selections this year obviously improve our system, and we are appreciative of our scouts and their hard work and dedication,” said LA Kings Director of Amateur Scouting Mark Yannetti in a release on Saturday.
