It's always a crap shoot with free agents. I haven't poured through this list yet: Free agents for NHL teams 2025: Top college, CHL and European players
But I'll check for any standouts.

Quick research seems to indicate it's a pretty low-quality class vs usual which doesn't yield many impact NHLers anyway
Kings have actually been MORE successful than the field with iafallo and lizotte
Maybe some AHLers with some upside, Kings seem to do good with the 'type' of player Brett Chorske is (andre lee, dwight king, sort of helenius) or a project-ish guy like John Prokop

That's the list I was referencing. There aren't too many where I can see mutual interest.Free agents for NHL teams 2025: Top college, CHL and European players

Kings are in a weird spot too if you're an NCAA guy
Not a big prospect pool, so you'd be close to the big shot
But next to no opportunities on the roster
"projects"/longshots make sense to me

Wonder why you don’t see teams get creative when they don’t like a draft and kick a first rounder down the road to next year.
Wonder if the draft changes in terms of instinct and emotion with the remote situation.

I think the last successful collegiate free agents the Kings signed were Blake Lizotte and Alex Iafallo, and those signings took place quite a few years back.
They're not overflowing with an abundance of NHL ready prospects, but the Kings also don't have as many openings available as they did back when they signed Lizotte and Iafallo.
