## Resource

The Los Angeles Kings look to their next generation as Alex Laferriere eyes a bigger role and possible move to second-line center. Can he help fill the void left by Anze Kopitar’s retirement? Eddie Garcia spotlights Laferriere’s progression, up and comer Kenny Connors in Ontario, and prospect Jimmy Lombardi —a trio representing three promising levels of LA Kings development. Discussion centers on the present and future of these players in the Kings organization.
