WHO SHOULD THE LA KINGS DRAFT AT #17? (w/ Locked On Kings)

With the 2026 NHL Draft moving ever closer and the 17th overall selection on the horizon, the coming 10 days will prove fascinating for the LA Kings' future. An organization with a typical preference for drafting hard-nosed players who won't back down to the physical challenges of competing in the Western Conference may have to put those desires aside to swing hard on upside in a range of the draft that may very well feature a falling high-skill piece from the top 12. We also discuss how players like Byfield and Turcotte have or haven't developed, and what we can learn from those selections.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
