19. Adrian Kempe

As of this writing, Kempe is entering his ninth season in North American hockey, and the Swedish Wing is really coming into his own.

A late First Round Pick in 2014, Kempe debuted for the Kings during the 2016-17 Season, and he found a place on a lower line.  In 2021-22, Kempe took his game to a higher level, bringing his Points to 54,  and it earned him a place as Los Angeles’s All-Star representative.  Kempe has continued to grow his point output, achieving a 41 Goal-67 Assist year in 2022-23 and reaching highs in Assists (47) and Points (75) the following year.  Last season, Kempe had 73 Points, and he could easily take another step, with the potential for a three-digit point output.
