29. Jim Fox

One of the better scorers for the Kings in the 1980s, Jim Fox, is also one of their most forgotten contributors.

The Right Wing had 43 Points as a rookie, which he followed up with back-to-back 68 Point seasons.  Fox had 30 Goals in 1981-82 and duplicated that in both 1983-84 and 1984-85, where he increased his Points totals to 72 and 83, respectively.  Fox should have been able to improve that as he was only 25 when he had his 83-Point year, but his knees began to become issues.

Fox was held to 39 Games in 1984-85 and missed a handful of games the next two years before he was unable to play the entirety of the 1988-89 campaign.  He tried a comeback but had to retire before 30.  Fox had 479 Points in his career, all of which was with the Kings.

He would later have a long career with the organization, working as a broadcaster.
