Los Angeles is number 14 in this series. I haven't shared them in awhile, but if you're wondering about the method or rules of this exercise, check out my Anaheim All-Draft team (i.e. No. 1).
NOTE: This team has definitely been one of the best value-drafting teams of the past 15 years. Their prospects right now are some of the best in the league and a lot of them weren't relatively high picks. It also seemed that, despite varying talent levels, an absurd amount of their picks by percentage played NHL games (with the exception of a really bad 2004 draft).
Also: kudos to Jacob Middleton, who, even if not on this team, was the only last pick of any draft to be added to one of the rosters at first (210th overall, LAK 2014)
Also also: Sorry. I cheated..I couldn't decide between Björnfot and Clague. Promise it won't happen again. Maybe Kings fans can help be choose
This is a super difficult exercise to do both current and past draft picks. Kudos to you this was pretty cool! I think Brown might be beyond the 15-year window, but if you include them, The only guys I think who could argue to include is: Kyle Clifford (700+ games played), Slava Voynov (190 GP, but abuse issues had him leave), Thomas Hickey (400+ games played). This was a fun look, thanks.

Sorry if that was confusing: I only included the rules/method in the first team I did (Anaheim). I meant 15 years arbitrarily here because they didn't draft well before that, and I did end up cutting Clifford and Hickey, since I'm basing it on today's league (i.e. if the league was reorganized into each team's drafted players), so talent/impact wise they're on the outside looking in
