Kings Draft Hermansson at 19
Description
The LA Kings made a savvy early move in the 2026 NHL Draft, trading their 17th pick to Utah for a better draft position and an extra third-round pick. With the 19th overall selection, they chose Elton Hermansson — a dynamic Swedish winger known for speed, shot, and hockey sense. While he’s undersized and needs to bulk up defensively, his offensive upside and playmaking fit perfectly with the Kings’ rebuilding goals. This pick, paired with their added draft assets, positions them to keep building a strong prospect pipeline as they look to replace their retired captain.
