Summary
The LA Kings snagged a hidden gem in the 6th round of the 2026 NHL Draft with Alex Kostov, a towering winger from Flint who went undrafted twice before exploding with 24 goals in 45 games. At 6-foot-4 with elite reach and scoring instincts, he’s got NHL upside — but needs to sharpen his skating and defensive awareness. Headed to Quinnipiac for college, Kostov’s journey proves patience pays off, and the Kings are betting he’ll become a key depth piece down the road.
