Samuel Fagemo is currently positioned as a potential 13th forward for the Kings, benefiting from Arthur Kaliyev's injury. He has demonstrated impressive scoring ability in the AHL, recently netting 43 goals in 50 games, but faces challenges due to concerns about his defensive play. To secure a spot on the NHL roster, Fagemo needs to enhance his two-way game. Despite limited NHL experience, with only nine games played last season, this is a critical time for him as he competes with fellow prospects Alex Turcotte and Akil Thomas, both of whom have also been waiting for their opportunity to contribute at the NHL level. Fagemo's window to establish himself is narrowing, making this season pivotal for his career.
