EL SEGUNDO, CA — It’s no secret that the Los Angeles Kings are doing whatever they can, within the realms of both capability and reality to accelerate their playing catch-up, in terms of improving their team, most notably by adding speed and playing faster.
One way they’re trying to do that is by pursuing college free agents who were late bloomers and went undrafted. The idea being that with their development system, considered to be one of the best in the National Hockey League, they have a better than average chance of turning that player into a bone fide NHL player.
