In Part One of our series, we look at players the LA Kings should draft if the season were to end today. Up first, a defenseman.
With the loss to the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday night, the LA Kings look like they are a team that will miss the postseason for the fifth time in the last seven seasons. Los Angeles has the sixth-fewest points, and certainly, they’d have a shot at landing another top-two pick.
Assuming they’re not as lucky as last season and based on the current standings, the Kings would have somewhere around the seventh-overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft.
