Kings Best Selection: Mike Cammalleri, 2nd Round, 49th Overall
Come on, you know you miss that drop to the knee one-timer. Cammalleri has played in 606 regular season NHL games and 283 of those were with the Kings. Although he has not been showered with awards during his time in the NHL, Cammalleri has had a successful career playing for the Kings, Montreal Canadiens and Calgary Flames.
One award he did win was the Bill Libby Memorial Award in ’07, given to the Kings’ most valuable player selected by the local media.
