Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we maintain and update our existing Top 50 lists annually.  As such, we are delighted to present our pre-2025/26 revision of our top 50 Los Angeles Kings.

As for all of our top 50 players in hockey, we look at the following: 

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Hockey League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Kings made the playoffs, but for the third year in a row, they were eliminated by Edmonton.  There was one new entrant and only one elevation.

As always, we present our top five, which remain unchanged. 

1. Marcel Dionne
2. Drew Doughty
3. Anze Kopitar
4. Luc Robitaille
5. Wayne Gretzky

You can find the entire list here.

Regarding the top five, Drew Doughty and Anze Kopitar remain #2 and #3, respectively, from last year.

Adrian Kempe climbed from #26 to #19.

The only new entrant was Kevin Fiala, who comes in at #45.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.
