No team surprised more this NHL season than the Los Angeles Kings. Before the season began, they were in the bottom quarter of the league in outright Stanley Cup Odds, in addition to point total over/under.
The Los Angeles Kings keep on trucking with their rebuild. 2020-21 was headlined by a Jeff Carter trade to the Pittsburgh Penguins, along with a bottom eight finish in the standings. Safe to say the Kings have been in a rut these last number of years.
When it comes to elite-level young talent, few leagues in North America can compare with the National Hockey League. Let’s meet the cast in part two of the NHL’s Calder Trophy candidates heading into next season.
There’s been a changing of the guard in Los Angeles since the hockey club won two Stanley Cups in three seasons from 2012 to 2014. Although star players like Drew Doughty, Anze Kopitar, and Jonathan Quick still remain, the Los Angeles Kings have undergone a massive transformation both on- and off-the-ice with hopes of (once again) building a winner.
It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for! With the 2020 NHL Entry Draft set to take place in one days’ time, what better way to get the juices flowing amongst hockey fans than a good old-fashioned mock draft. Without further ado, here is my rendition of the highly-anticipated first five picks based on talent, upside, and organizational needs.
