Eyes Of The Scout

The hockey world in late June shifts its attention to the annual NHL Draft. Currently the Kings are slated to choose 13th overall. This year’s Draft will be held June 26-27 in Florida.

LAKings.com caught up with three members of our organization’s amateur scouting staff – Christian Ruuttu, Tony Gasparini and newcomer Chris Byrne -- to help preview this year’s event. It is, after all, the “Super Bowl for the Scouts.”

LAKings.com: Since last year’s draft, how do you describe your last 12 months in anticipation of this year’s draft?

Byrne: Last year I had just joined the club so I was fortunate enough to come and watch a lot of what we do.
