Braden Doyle

Braden Doyle is currently the teammate of Jack Hughes on the Northeastern University Huskies. Playing on the blueline for NU, Doyle stands at 6-foot, 168-pounds and plays on the left side, which has been a position of need for the Kings. Granted, he is still several years out from playing on NHL ice, but he does add a name to the prospect pipeline at a position with thin depth.

Currently, he only has four assists for four points in 16 games, but he is only a sophomore. So, he has plenty of time to develop. The LA Kings drafted him in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft with the 157th overall pick in the sixth round. He has also yet to sign an NHL Entry Level Contract.
