Los Angeles Kings Positional Prospect Depth 2021-22

I'm not too concerned about RW as both Amadio and Vilardi can play there. I'm much more concerned about RhD as only Durzi and Roy look like they are NHL-viable, and neither looks like a top-4. If the Kings remain in the top three they should draft the indicated prospect (Lafreniere/Byfield/Raymond), but otherwise they should give Jamie Drysdale strong consideration (as should Anaheim) and then draft another RhD at #33. It will be interesting to see who among Braden Schneider - Justin Barron - Helge Grans - Topi Niemola, if any, remain at the beginning of the second round.

Same, center depth has allowed us flexibility in both the RW/LW position. I'm ok this year if the Kings drop out of the top 3 because losing out on Lafreniere, Byfield, Stützle/Raymond still means we get Drysdale. As for the second round, if we can nab Schneider, I will be super pumped, my consolation prize would be grabbing Kleven.
