Tobias Bjornfot and Arthur Kaliyev were drafted behind Turcotte in 2019 and both provide excellent offense for the organization.
Bjornfot, who was the Kings' second first-round selection, is a "potential top-four defender with elite skating and great hockey sense."
Kaliyev, who slid to the 33rd spot, was arguably one of the best steals of the 2019 draft. "He's an elite offensive weapon," Bell

Kings' 2018 draft pick Rasmus Kupari, who is in his first year with the Ontario Reign, is expected to bring his elite skating and creative playmaking abilities to the Kings offense. "Turcotte and Kupari could be one of the best one-two punches in the NHL in a few years," Bell wrote.
"The Kings have numerous other high-end forwards, from Carl Grundstrom (acquired from the Maple Leafs in the Jake Muzzin trade) to Akil Thomas, to Gabe Vilardi, to Aiden Dudas," Bell wrote. "This is a very exciting crop of forwards."

On the defensive side, Kale Clague is a skilled, two-way defender who can move the puck. As the Kings look to play a faster style of hockey, he will be relied on to bring an offensive spark to the blue line.
In net, Bell names Petersen as the top prospect, who he expects will graduate from the AHL in the coming years. "Behind him, Lukas Parik and Jacob Ingham are both goaltenders to watch."
