He played for the Kings?

[Matt13]

Then you have the likes of Valeri Bure and Alyn McCauley. Household names among us Kings fans.

You can also add Brian McGrattan and Kimmo Timonen to the thread of "He never played for the Kings".

Oh Sandman.

I still wish I had bought this Sturm shirt.

Paul Coffey, can’t believe they traded him to Detroit.

He was good with LA tho.

Gretzky always said he felt we woulda won in 93 if we’d have kept Coffey IIRC.

Looking at that I still can’t handle anyone but Mike Richards wearing #10. He’ll always be #10 to me. Past present and future.

Oh Sandman.

He could have been in Point Break instead of Swayze.

I remembered him playing here but there’s no way I could’ve ever told you what number he wore.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Keaton Ellerby is one. Jamie McBain as well.

When I moved out here I started going to Kings games to see the off Broadway line ,Carr, Williams and Murphy, to see Bob Nevin to see Pete stemkowski, all of these guys former Rangers that came here and little by little became a kings fan and then they treated Giacomin so bad and then did the unspeakable horror trading for Phil Esposito and I’ve been at Kings fan since whatever horrible day that was…… I think hockey more than most sports guys go bounce from team to team and considering Murphy was not only a king but their captain for a few years we would get better results from the nhl replays , I think while he was in charge of them he went overboard not to be bias or he just ended up hating the kings

From my first season, Larry Robinson and John Tonelli.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

From my first season, Larry Robinson and John Tonelli.

They were actually decent contributors for three seasons here. I don't know if I'd describe them as forgettable Kings.

Steven Stamkos!

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

Steve Shutt
Ralph Backstrom (left for the WHA after scoring 49 points in 63 games for the Kings)
Ron Grahame (Boston kicked the Kings ass in that deal. The Kings acquired Grahame for a 1st round pick which Boston used to select Raymond Bourque.)
Dave Schultz
Rick Martin
Bill Harris

Ralph Backstrom was traded to Shitcago BlackHawks for Dan Maloney our 2nd line LWinger on the line with B Goring before being dealt to Detroit in the Marcel Dionne Free Agency deal

 

[Ray Martyniuk]

The ones that broke my hurt was the Rick Martin(RIP) deal where LA sent 1st pick(turned into Tom Barrasso) for the LWinger with the bad back and Jerry Korab for Phil Housley. Korab actually wasn't bad...When LA "acquired" Dionne their first line centre from the past 5 years(Juha Widing) was demoted...it was sad...Billy Harris the numero uno pick in the 1972 draft was underwhelming made worse when LA dealt fan favorite Butch Goring...Jari Kurri was underwhelming as well...by the time Jari and Wayne hooked up again their best hockey was behind them

fun fact
When the Kings made the deal for Grahame, Raymond Bourque was currently not eligible for the 1979 draft. Bourque was 19 at the time of the draft and you needed to be 20 to be drafted into the NHL at the time. It was only after the NHL-WHA merger in 1979 that the draft age was lowered to 19 to compensate for the "underage" players currently in the WHA.

Kevin Stevens! (I had to double check that one)

 

[SmoothOperator99]

Jay Miller

 

[Soapdodger]

Donald Audette is a name I'd like to add.
The worst were Fuhr and Roenick during my time as a Kings fan

Actually it was lowered to 18 to accommodate Gretzky,Messier and the other youngsters that threatened to sue the NHL

LOL Audeth was a name that I was hoping to forget about

Rob Blake's second stint was pretty forgettable. Sometimes I forget that it even happened.

Kind of weird to think that Blake was actually teammates with Kopitar, Brown and Quick.

I will always remember that stint as him refusing to waive his NTC for a deal to San Jose only to then sign with San Jose that off season....friggin turd

Alexei Ponokoriski.

After losing on the Kovalchuk sweepstakes in 2010, Dean settled with getting Ponokoriski and the biggest thing I remember him doing was scoring a goal and dropping to his knees in relief as he was on some crazy long scoreless drought.
