Every offseason brings new players to new teams, which brings along new opponents for every team as well. In the case of this season, there will be new teams in new conferences and new divisions all together so there will be plenty of new faces around the league. We will look at the teams that will be getting to know the Kings on a more personal level later. But for now, we will take a look at some notable new players coming to the Kings conference and division.
With the format of conferences and divisions changing up next season the amount of games played against division and conference opponents is likely to change as well. But, there are several players new to the Kings new division, which now includes Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver on top of Anaheim, Phoenix and San Jose, and conference that should be taken note of.
