Showing off solid offensive versatility in his career, Mike Cammalleri’s long career began in Los Angeles, debuting in 2002, but cementing himself as a starting NHL forward in 2005, where he had 55 Points in his first full season in hockey’s premier league.
Cammalleri followed this with one of his best seasons, netting 80 Points with a career-best 46 Assists. He earned plenty of power play time over this era, and though Los Angeles was not a competitive team, Cammalleri was a significant component of the success that they did have.
He was traded to Calgary in 2008 and returned as a Free Agent nine years later, albeit for a brief time, before he was traded to Edmonton. Cammalleri would tabulate 212 Points in 298 Games as a King.
Tom Williams played 25 Games with the New York Rangers before being traded to Los Angeles, where he had his greatest success in Hockey.
The Left Wing played with the Kings until 1979, excelling on tertiary lines, but had one standout year in 1976/77 when he scored 35 goals and accumulated 74 points overall. He was traded to the St. Louis Blues in the '79 offseason but never made their team and retired shortly after.
Williams scored 249 Points in 372 Games for Los Angeles.
Sean O’Donnell was traded to the Los Angeles Kings before he made it to the NHL with the team that drafted him, the Buffalo Sabers. It was with the Kings that he first proved his merits.
O'Donnell played his first five NHL seasons with the Kings, using his grit and fists to protect his end and display traditional stay-at-home defensive acumen. The blueliner had triple-digits in PIM in year two to year five of his run with L.A., and his toughness may not have yielded goals, but it did prevent them.
Left unprotected in the Expansion Draft, O'Donnell departed Los Angeles for Minnesota in 2000, but he returned as a Stanley Cup Champion in 2008 when the Anaheim Ducks sent him back to Los Angeles. He served the Kings for two more years before leaving as a Free Agent to Philadelphia.
Overall, O'Donnell played 541 of his 1,224 Games with the Kings, with 98 Points and 940 Penalty Minutes.
Garry Galley had two stints with the Los Angeles Kings, the first coming after he was the 100th Overall Pick in the 1983 Draft, while he was playing collegiately at Bowling Green. Galley turned pro the following year and made the Kings roster immediately, logging significant ice time on the Kings' second pairing and scoring 38 Points as a rookie.
Galley was not as good as a sophomore, though he still had a respectable 22 Points in 49 Games. Midway through the 1986-87 campaign, he was traded to Washington, but ten years later, the Kings signed him to be a veteran presence of their defensive corps. In Galley's second run in Los Angeles, he played there for three years, hitting the 30-point mark in two of those years.
Leaving for the Islanders in 2000, Galley amassed 159 Points in 361 Games as a King.
