While it was projected that Shea Weber was going to have a good career in the National Hockey League, the native of British Columbia turned out to be an absolute steal for the Nashville Predators, who landed him late in the Second Round.

A large and imposing Defenseman, Weber debuted for the Predators in 2005-06, appearing in 26 Games, but it did not accurately foreshadow what was to come.  Weber exploded with 40 Points in 2006-07, showing strong two-way play.  Using his size to lock down attackers, Weber became one of the most potent rushers, and his booming shot made him a terror on the power play.  Weber would net at least 40 Points as a Predator eight times, with all of those years netting 15 Goals or more.

Weber was the player whom Nashville built its team around, and individually, he was a four-time postseason All-Star, two First Team, and two Second Team.  He was not just their best player but emerged as the team leader and was recognized as such with the Mark Messier Leadership Award in 2016.  It would be the last honor that Weber received in Nashville, as he was traded to Montreal for P.K. Subban.

With the Predators, Weber accumulated 443 Points in 763 Games, with a Plus/Minus of +48, an imposing tally considering that Nashville was not a contender for much of his stay.

A First Round Pick from Moscow, Alex Frolov, debuted with the Kings two years after he was drafted.  The Left Wing had a promising rookie year, finishing eighth in Calder voting with 31 Points, but the Kings brass were hoping for a lot more from the Russian.  That is what they got.

Frolov increased his production gradually, going to 48, 54, and 71 Points respectively over the next three years.  71 would be his highest tally, but he had at least 50 Points over the next three years and was an asset to the Kings, especially considering they did not have many scorers on their roster.

He left the Kings for the Rangers in 2010, but a torn ACL ended his career there, leading him to finish his career in Russia.  Frolov had 381 Points for Los Angeles.

Jake Muzzin had a unique path to the NHL, as despite being drafted by Pittsburgh in 2007, the OHL Defenseman was not signed.  Muzzin reentered the draft in 2009, but this time, no NHL team took him.  Muzzin was eligible to play one more year in the OHL, and he maximized the opportunity, winning the OHL Defenseman of the Year.   The Kings took notice, signed Muzzin, who made the team.

Over the first two seasons, Muzzin mainly played in the AHL over the first two seasons, though he was on the roster (though he did not play) when the Kings captured the 2012 Stanley Cup.  Muzzin was in the NHL to stay in 2012, gradually gaining more playing time with each passing year.  Helping the Kings win their second Stanley Cup in 2014, Muzzin would have at least 40 Points in three of the following four seasons, and he was arguably one of the better players for Los Angeles in the mid-10s.  

The struggling Kings traded Muzzin to Toronto in 2019, leaving the Kings with 213 Points.

Alec Martinez played his college hockey in the MAC with Miami (of Ohio), doing well enough to transfer his skills to the Los Angeles Kings early in the 4^th Round of the 2007 Draft.

Martinez first made the Kings in 2009-10, and in the following year, his AHL days were permanently in his rearview mirror.  A clean player who could be used well on the power play, Martinez had a five-year run of 20-plus Point seasons, two of which exceeded the 30-Point mark.  Martinez also played a part in the Kings two Stanley Cups in 2012 and 2014.

Martinez played for Los Angeles for 11 years, traded to Vegas early in the 2019-20 Season.  The Defenseman would score 198 Points as a King.
