The LA Kings will have the eighth overall pick for the first time in franchise history. Here are three players that will likely be available.

After the ping pong balls settled, the LA Kings learned that they will have the eighth overall pick in the 2021 NHL Draft. Not quite the same luck as landing the second overall spot a year ago, but they will still be able to get a high-impact player, especially in a draft that figures to be unpredictable.

Ideally, the Kings would have loved to get a guy like Owen Power or Luke Hughes added to their prospect pool.
