Mark Yannetti joins them in the second period to discuss the NHL draft and Kings prospects.TakeawaysThe NHL draft is an exciting event that showcases the future of the league, but it's not as impactful for fans as the NFL draft due to the longer development timeline for hockey prospects.The LA Kings have added Newell Brown to their coaching staff, bringing experience and attention to detail.Contract negotiations are ongoing for players like Quinton Byfield and Alex Turcotte.Prospect Andre Lee has impressed with his size and physicality, making a strong case for a spot on the Kings' opening night roster.The upcoming Stanley Cup Final will be an exciting series, and DB will be covering the games for SiriusXM.Travel plans for media and teams can be challenging, especially with potential weather delays and long flights.Yannetti provides insights into the NHL draft and the Kings' prospects.Sound Bites"The NHL draft, while it's a big deal to someone like me, it's not a big deal to the average hockey fan.""Andre Lee had a fantastic year in Ontario, despite missing time due to injury.""Akil Thomas is going to make the roster opening night without question."You can find us on X/Twitter at @kingsofthepod

Building momentum is crucial for the LA Kings as they approach the playoffs.The 1-3-1 has been a topic of debate, but it is not the sole determinant of a team's success.Martin Chromiak is still developing and it is uncertain if he will become an NHL player for the Kings.Leadership can come from various positions on the team, not just the goaltender.The next core group of players for the Kings will be unique and different from the previous core four.Sound bites:"They saved their worst performance of the year for game 73.""Need more of a shooting mindset than just from Viktor Arvidsson.""Gonna go five and three and they're just gonna make the playoffs by a couple of points.""You can't just win it on paper.
