Summary
The LA Kings unloaded eleven draft picks, starting with first-round forward Elton Hermansson, then adding a mix of forwards, defensemen, and a towering goalie. Standouts include second-round forward Liam Lefebvre, who led his QMJHL team to a title, and defenseman Adam Goljer, a silver-medalist at the U18 Worlds. They also snagged the Gaudreau Award-winning Blake Zielinski and six-foot-seven netminder Yegor Rybkin. Later-round gems like 17-year-old power-play scorer Thomas Vandenberg and veteran WHL defenseman Giorgos Pantelas round out a well-rounded haul focused on depth, international experience, and future potential.
