The Athletic released its updated prospect rankings, post-NHL draft. The LA Kings have four representatives but some slipped.

Now a week removed from the NHL Draft, The Athletic put together their updated prospect list for the 2020-2021 season. And the LA Kings are well represented, having four members of the prospect pool in their top-50 prospects, including second overall pick Quinton Byfield. Here’s where they have each player.

The author, Scott Wheeler, indicates that while Byfield doesn’t have the polish or NHL-readiness that a player this high on the list should have, he is excellent in faceoffs and fantastic reads away from the puck.
