The LA Kings have only taken one player from the QMJHL in Rob Blake’s tenure. Might this be the year they grab a few offensive players from the league?
With the 2020-2021 QMJHL season officially underway as of Friday, the league figures to be well represented in next week’s draft. Of course, Alexis Lafreniere has been a monster over the last three seasons for the Rimouski Oceanic team.
The consensus number one pick of the 2020 NHL Draft put up 114 goals with 183 assists in 173 games. During Rob Blake’s tenure as the LA Kings‘ general manager, the organization has drafted just one player from the QMJHL in Jordan Spence.
