## Resource

The LA Kings pulled off a bold move in the fourth round, trading up to land gritty, two-way center Thomas Vandenberg—10 spots higher than his original pick. A breakout season saw him double his points and outscore his previous year, all while bringing physicality, relentless forechecking, and smart playmaking to the table. At 6’0” and 180 lbs, he’s not just a scorer—he’s a winner in the corners, a puck winner, and a faceoff specialist. With three centers drafted this year, the Kings are clearly building depth down the middle, and Vandenberg’s all-around game makes him a standout addition to their future plans.
