Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023-24 revision of our top 50 Los Angeles Kings.
As for all of our top 50 players in hockey, we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Hockey League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.
Last year, the Kings made it to the playoffs but were dispatched early by the Edmonton Oilers. There were no changes to the top five, though two of them are still active with the team. There were no new entrants and two elevations.
As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:
1. Marcel Dionne
2. Drew Doughty
3. Anze Kopitar
4. Luc Robitaille
5. Wayne Gretzky
You can find the entire list here.
Drew Doughty, a former Norris Trophy winner, remains at #2, though he was close to overtaking Dionne for the top spot.
Like Doughty, Anze Kopitar could not overtake Dionne nor Doughty, though he can eclipse them both when this is revised in twelve months.
Adrian Kempe advanced a dozen spots to #26.
Defenseman Matt Roy went from #50 to #46.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.
