LOS ANGELES — In Frozen Royalty’s previous story about how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the Los Angeles Kings’ scouting/player evaluation work, Director of Amateur Scouting Mark Yanetti provided a tidbit of information about what they are looking at for the second overall pick in the 2020 National Hockey League Draft.
“Looking at the second overall pick, we have two guys really in mind for that pick,” he said.
Of course, Yanetti wasn’t going to reveal who those players are. But noting that NHL Central Scouting releases their prospect rankings to the public each year, he spoke with Frozen Royalty about a handful of their top-ranked prospects.
