Los Angeles Kings retired jerseys: A deep look in franchise history

Luc Robitaille (20)

Another great, late-round draft pick by the Los Angeles Kings was in 1984 when they selected Luc Robitaille in the ninth round. He would make his first appearance in the 1986-87 season and made an immediate impact with 45 goals and 39 assists while winning the Calder Award, which goes to the best rookie that season.

He would play his first eight seasons in the NHL for the Kings and after stops with the Pittsburgh Penguins and New York Rangers, Robitaille returned to the Kings before the 1997-98 season for four seasons. Robitaille would end his career with the Kings after the 2005-06 season. In total, he played in 1,077 games and had 557 goals, 597 assists, and 1,154 points.

Dustin Brown (23)

The most recent number to be retired belonged to Dustin Brown, who was the first round pick of the Kings in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft. He would play 18 seasons in the NHL, all with the Kings, and win two Stanley Cups as well as the Messier Award during the 2012-2013 season.

Brown was captain for the Kings during those Stanley Cup years and was captain from 2008-09 season through the 2015-16 season. It would be Anze Kopitar who would replace him as captain, and has been in that role ever since.

In total, Brown played in 1,296 games (which was a franchise record up until last year when Kopitar surpassed that total) with 325 goals and 387 assists.
