With the No. 148 overall pick, in the fifth round, the Kings selected defenseman Kevin Gravel from Sioux City of the USHL.
Then, in the sixth round, the Kings traded up into the No. 158 spot and selected 19-year-old Russian forward Maxim Kitsyn, who played in the KHL last season. The Kings gave up their No. 169 and No. 199 picks.
At this time, the Kings don’t have any picks remaining.
Maxim Kitsyn, per ISS, STYLE COMPARES TO: (what for it … what for it..) Alexander Frolov.

Seems like Lombardi was determined to give away picks this time. I don’t get it, but I am not being paid to get it. My gut tells me he has big stuff brewing in the next week or so…..

@rick,
Went for quality instead of quantity it looks like to me.

It’s about quality, not quantity. If you move up and get a player you think is MUCH better then what will fall to you, you go get it.

Wow, Maxim Kitsyn really fell.

@54FIGHTING, I’m guessing it’s the KHL transfer agreement problem. You have to be willing to lose the player to the money of the KHL these days.
