Kings Draft Hermansson With Deep Roots
Description
The LA Kings strike gold again in the 2026 NHL Draft, selecting Elton Hermansson from MoDo Hockey — a direct heir to their 2014 Adrian Kempe pick, with a personal connection to Kempe’s dad who coached him. Hermansson’s resume? MVP of the U-18 World Championship, plus 11 goals in Sweden’s second-tier pro league at just 17. Scouts loved his grit and growth, especially against men — and the Kings got him plus an extra third-round pick by trading down. He’s headed to LA for the first time soon — a promising new piece for their future.
