Current rankings of the 2015 draftees. When the dust settles on MacDavid and Eichel, whoever gets the 3rd pick is getting one stud center in Strome, the OHL scoring champ, 6'3 and had 129 pts in 68 games.
Depending where the Kings end up , 15th (no playoffs) thru 30, lots of good wingers, which I think they should go for.

Current? The link you provided says it's the ISS top-30 for April. I don't think you can link to a more current one (unless this is April 2014 and I'm not noticing it).

EDIT: Actually, it looks like the second link you provided can be toggled between multiple lists (at the top with the yellow start next to them). Each one states when the list was released. Great link for draft rankings!

Craig Button's list is not something I can take seriously.

Oh and with our pick at 13th or 14th I'd like to get either a Voynov replacement (Werenski or Provorov if still available) or a left-shooting winger who could play LW, such as Zacha or Connor.

Just make sure they're committed to coming over and spending some time in the AHL, I mean the Blues got Tarasenko roughly where the Kings would be drafting based on the current standings so you gotta go for it if you get that impression. But for the love of god double check their contract status, don't want another Kitsyn/Prokhorkin situation.
 
Prokhorkin, I bet he wishes he came over to NA. He has had a terrible season in the KHL. O well, the guy is on record saying he doesn't want to play in the AHL.
 
Enjoy rotting in Europe then. The Kings will slam the door in your face if you don't wanna play in the A. Guess he doesn't want to be a better player by paying his dues.

I think it's time to target a high end center. The Kings do not have a top 6 center
in the system. Weal does not seem to be quite that and Kempe is playing right wing...although can play center. Dowd is emerging, but will most likely not be top 6 and he turns 25 next month. Shore is thankfully progressing, but is 3rd center at best. Amadio shows some promise.

The Kings have decent depth on wings. (although not as much on LW) Zykov,
Kempe, Mersch, Brodzinski, Mistele, Auger. On D, there is Forbert, Miller, Ebert,
Lintuniemi, LaDue, Leslie, Roach, and MacDermid. And Gravel, if they sign him.
Sekera is 28, so if the Kings can sign him, a little less pressure to get a top 4 defenseman in the draft. Kopitar is already on the decline. Time to draft centers.

Zykov can play LW. I hope a center that the Kings covet fall to them.
 
forgot what it's like to have to pay mind to the upcoming draft class...

Kopitar & Carter are good enough for the next 3-5 years. THe problem is you won't get a "high end center" outside the top 10. After McDavid & Eichel, Strome and Marner will be gone pretty quickly. After that you can maybe get Barzal or Merkley. Would it make sense? Sure, fair enough. Are they high end? I don't know.

But the only left-shooting top-9 wingers we have are Pearson and Gaborik, and Gaborik is a natural RW (And old. And injury-prone). Everyone else shoots right.
 
Sign me up for Barzal, Konecny, or Meier if they're available in that order. Otherwise I really like what ivese' en on D from Kylington.

Konecny and Greenway are the two names that stood out to me as potential targets. Greenway isn't a first IMO, but he is exactly what the Kings seem to look for. Huge. 6'5 and like 230. He's a moose.

Just realized Konecny is with Ottawa 67s. Lock it up!
