Garry Galley had two stints with the Los Angeles Kings, the first coming after he was the 100^th 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 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.

Jimmy Carson was the Second Overall Pick in the 1986 Draft, and he would be an All-Rookie, scoring 79 Points and finishing third in Calder voting, an impressive output for an 18-year-old.

Carson was even better at 19, finishing third in Goals with 55 and scoring 107 overall.  This was one of the best years ever by a teenager in pro hockey and one of the best in Kings history, but as good as it was, it became of the most forgotten great seasons in Los Angeles.  Carson was traded to Edmonton as part of the deal that sent Wayne Gretzky in return, and Kings fans forgot all about Carson.

Carson could never do what he did at 19, and he slowly regressed over the following years.  He returned briefly to L.A. when he was traded back for their 1993 run to the Stanley Cup Finals, but he was not the same player he once was.  Los Angeles dealt him to Vancouver in January of 1994, and he would leave the Kings for good with 219 Points in 219 Games.

Born in Finland and raided in Sweden, Juha Widing moved to Canada as a teenager, playing in the WHL and working his way to the NHL, making the New York Rangers in 1970, and late in the year, he was traded to Los Angeles.  It was with the Kings where the Center would become a trailblazer for Scandinavian-born hockey players in North America.

Widing exploded in the 1970-71 Season with 65 Points, a then-record tally for a player who developed his skills in either Sweden or Finland.  Over the next four years, Widing never had less than 55 Points, producing solid stats in the first half of the 70s.

He was traded during the 1976-77 Season, and his pro hockey skills quickly declined around that time.  Wilding was out of North American hockey by 1978 but left the Kings with 342 Points, a solid amount for a player of his era.

As the 70s bled into the 80s, stay-at-home Defensemen were not in vogue but were (and are) a necessary part of Hockey.  This made Los Angeles' 1979 First Round selection of Jay Wells unsexy, but his toughness was required, and proved to be a large part of who the Kings were in the 1980s.

Wells did not have a single Point in his rookie season (43 Games), but he was a needed punisher who protects his side of the ice.  Wells would late generate offense, peaking with a 42-Point year in 1985-86, followed by a 35-Point year.  Wells ever had a year with Los Angeles where he had less than 100 Penalty Minutes, and he would sit in the box as a King for a total of 1,446 Minutes.

For a Defenseman who was not considered offensively capable in some circles, he did put forth 177 Points with Los Angeles, the team he would be traded from in the 1988 offseason.

Wells would later win a Stanley Cup with the Rangers in 1994.
