17 Trevor Lewis


Trevor is a good sized center who has all the tools to be a solid NHL player. The problem is that these tools have not translated well to the NHL and has this had led to lack luster play. He is spending time in Manchester (AHL) and hopefully will be on the Kings roster full time next season.

13 Zack Kassian


Zack is a physical specimen who dominates the OHL physically and with his scoring touch. After serving a 20 game suspension for a hit that wasn't anything bad, Zack is playing with vengence. He can win that battles in the corners and has that hands to finish around the net. He should spend another season in Windsor (OHL) and then split time between Buffalo and Portland. He should become a Steve Downie type player and has the potential to be a star in the NHL for many years.

10 Michael Frolik

Michael was the first player taken by the Florida Panthers in the 2006 NHL Draft. He was dubbed "Baby Jagr" while playing for Kladno. After being drafted he came over to North America to play in the QMJHL for the Rimouski Oceanic where he had over 130 points in two seasons. He is no longer considered a prospect in the Florida system playing in his second career pro season for the Panthers. After putting up 45 points his rookie year, he is on pace to match that this season with 35 points in 64 games so far. He should continue to develop and has the potential to be a star in a few years.
