The Los Angeles Kings have not made a first-round selection since the 2021 NHL Draft. Despite shifting from a rebuild to contention, they have not focused on drafting. Names like Clarke, Fagemo, Thomas, and Turcotte are ineligible for this list. Pinelli had a disappointing 2023-24 campaign but has shown potential. Jamsen, Chromiak, Hughes, Slukynsky, Salin, Dvorak, Simontaival, Portillo, Conmy, and Ziemmer are also noteworthy prospects with different strengths and areas to improve on.
