NHL teams build their teams in many different ways. Some construct their clubs via free agency while others do it through trades. However, the main way teams create a roster is through the NHL Draft. Most years have maybe one or two players make the roster, but some years the general manager gets it right and gets a cornerstone or two for the franchise. The Last Word on Hockey is doing the best draft class for each team with the exception of the Seattle Kraken. Today we look at the Los Angeles Kings best draft class.
Los Angeles Kings Best Draft Class: 1980
In the summer when the Kings had just four selections, we jump to a year they had 12 in a ten-round draft. In their history, Los Angeles has had some good luck with later picks or with one particular risk, but we’ll talk about them later. Our target year has a couple of stars, some decent “fill-in” players, and a few who made it to the league. Yes, they had a lot of selections, but those selections still have to hit. Otherwise, a team will be left with a double handful of missed opportunities and not much else.
