Kings draft numbers
Just to set the table, here's what the Kings' draft-pick table looks like for this year:
First-Round: one selection
Second-Round: one selection
Third-Round: one selection
Fourth-Round: three selections
Fifth-Round: two selections
Sixth-Round: two selections
Seventh-Round: three selections
In the next day or two, I'll be posting bios and videos of some of the players who might be available for the Kings to pick.

J.P. Hoornstra writes about NHL and IHL hockey for the Los Angeles Newspaper Group. He welcomes any and all dialogue on the finer points of hockey.

Jill Painter joined the Daily News in 2000 and during the last eight years she's covered the Dodgers, Cal State Northridge, UCLA, Kings, golf and everything in between. Even though she's from Colorado, she still freezes in the Staples Center press box but always manages to thaw her fingers in time to make deadline. E-mail Jill at 

I'll be surprised if the Kings use half of these picks.
