Top 10 NHL Draft Picks at Fifth Overall

In case you missed it, the Draft Lottery took place on Tuesday, and the LA Kings will draft in the fifth position at the 2019 NHL Entry Draft in June. The Kings had a 13.5 percent chance of winning the first-overall selection, but someone must have dropped the (ping pong) ball.
Fifth overall may have been the worst-case scenario for the Kings, but by no means is it something to be disappointed about. In the past, fifth overall picks have gone on to be team leaders, and with this year's strong draft class, there are plenty of talented players to choose from.
This is the second time that the Kings will have the fifth pick, with the organization previously drafting Brayden Schenn in 2009.

The Kings also own the Toronto Maple Leafs' first round draft pick, which will be determined by how far they reach in the playoffs.
In addition to those two first round picks, the team also has eight additional selections at numbers: 33, 64, 90 (Washington's third round pick), 95, 122 (Calgary's fourth round pick), 126, 157 and 188.
