Over the past few seasons, the Kings have seen first-hand what happens when you have thin goalie depth. They’ve repeatedly had to go outside the organization to find backups and positional depth. Martin Jones was the last home-grown goaltending prospect the Kings have had make an impact at the NHL level. With the acquisition (and recent contract extension) of Jack Campbell, the signing of Cal Petersen, and the drafting of Matt Villalta, the Kings are back on their way to having a strong goalie pipeline.
They made one more addition to that web of potential future goalies today by signing Portland Winterhawks goalie Cole Kehler to an entry level contract.
