Cody Franson debuted for the Nashville Predators in 2009, four years after the native of British Columbia was drafted in the Third Round.  

Franson had a very good rookie year, finishing 11^th in Calder voting, with 21 Points and a +15 Plus/Minus.  The season after, Franson scored 29 Points with a +10 Plus/Minus, and should have been a stalwart for the Predators for years to come.  Instead, Nashville dealt the Defenseman to Toronto, though years later he was sent back for Nashville’s 2015 playoff run.  Franson signed with Buffalo afterward, ending his Predators run with 54 Points.

Matt Greene to Los Angeles in 2008, and the two of them would become significant components in the Kings' success of the first half of the 2010s.

Stoll showed his prowess as a two-way Center, earning Frank J. Selke votes (albeit not many) in three of his L.A. years.  Stoll had three straight 40-Point campaigns for the Kings (2008-09 to 2010-11 and was later a part of their Stanley Cup wins in 2012 and 2014.

Stoll joined the Rangers as a Free Agent in 2015, leaving behind 506 Games and 214 Points as a King.

A Los Angeles King for the first five-and-a-half years of his NHL career, Neil Komadoski was a defensive stalwart for the team throughout the 1970s.

Komadoski was not an offensive star, only scoring 67 Points with Los Angeles, but he had a Plus/Minus of +18, a good number considering where the Kings were at the time.  He was traded to St. Louis midway through the 1977/78 campaign.

Matt Greene was a member of the Edmonton Oilers before being traded to the Los Angeles Kings in the 2008 off-season.  In L.A., he finished his career, but it wasn't brief, as he played there for nine seasons.

Greene was a traditional stay-at-home Defenseman who didn't score much, but didn't have to.  He only accumulated 67 Points in a Kings uniform but had a Plus/Minus of +21 and was a crucial part of their 2012 and 2014 Stanley Cup wins.
