The talent-laden Montreal Canadiens had no spot for Bob Berry, a Left Wing who was already in his mid-20s but unable to appear in more than 2 Games for the Habs.  Montreal sold his contract to Los Angeles, allowing Berry an opportunity to play in the NHL.

He responded well to the task, scoring 63 Points in his full-season debut.  He slipped the following season (39 Points) but followed that with his best year in hockey, a 36-Goal, 64 Point year, which also saw him go to his first All-Star Game.  Berry was an All-Star again in 1974, scoring 56 Points.   

Age would catch up to Berry, as he only played three additional years in the NHL but had a respectable 350 Points in 539 Games as a King.

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 were with the Kings.

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

The Hall of Fame career of Larry Murphy began in Los Angeles, the organization that made him the Fourth Overall Pick in 1980.

Murphy made the Kings immediately, scoring 76 Points, and was the runner-up for the Calder, as well as finishing seventh for the Norris.  He never had a higher scoring season for Los Angeles, but was still a potent performer from the blueline.  He had over 60 Points in the next two seasons and might have had another, but he was traded six Games into the 1983/84 campaign to the Washington Capitals.  As a King, Murphy had 254 Points with a .86 PPG.

He went on to have three Second Team All-Star campaigns and win four Stanley Cups (two with Pittsburgh and two with Detroit). He entered the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2004.

Tomas Sandstrom played the first five-and-a-half years of his NHL career with the New York Rangers before a trade brought him to Los Angeles, a team that was looking for his combination of grit and scoring prowess.

In the early 90s, Scandinavians were not known for their physicality, but Sandstrom could both grind and score.  The Swedish Right Wing was often injured in L.A., but when he did play, he averaged over a Point per Game.  His best year as a King was in 1988-89, where he had a career-high 89 Points, and he was electric in the 1993 run to the Stanley Cup Finals, where he scored 25 Points.

Los Angeles traded Sandstrom to Pittsburgh during the 1993-94 Season, and as a King, he would compile 254 Points in 235 Games.
