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.

Chris Mason made his NHL debut in the 1998-99 Season, appearing in three games.  It took another two years before he played in another NHL contest, a single one in the 2000-01 campaign.  Mason signed with Florida in 2002 but never made it to their main roster and was claimed back by the organization a year later. He would finally see some serious action in the biggest hockey league in the world.

Mason was his backup in 2003-04 and 2005-06 (2004-05 was a lockout), but he was in between the pipes for 40 Games in 2006-07, posting a 2.38 GAA and 9.25 Save Percentage.  The following year, those numbers were lower, but he was elevated to the top Goalie in Nashville, appearing in 51 Games.  Mason was traded to St. Louis at season's end, but he returned as a Free Agent for one final season in 2012-13, appearing in 11 Games before retiring.

He had a record of 59-50-13 with the Predators with a 2.68 GAA.

Undrafted players generally don't make the NHL, but Delaware-born Defenseman Mark Eaton defied the odds, making the Philadelphia Flyers a year after signing him.  Eaton would then be traded to the Nashville Predators, and he would find his niche as a lockdown Defenseman.

Eaton played for the Predators for five years, scoring only 45 Points, but he performed his role as one of Nashville’s best shot blockers.  His best year was in 2003-04, where he had 13 Points and 4.7 Defensive Point Shares, the latter of which was by far his personal best.  He signed with Pittsburgh in 2006 and later won a Stanley Cup with the Penguins in 2009.
