Madden and Turcotte are just two in a long list of offensively brilliant players in the Kings’ farm system waiting to jump up to the big club. Promoting someone like Hults — who understands the importance of the breakout pass — at the same time as the young scoring bucks in the system may turn out to be a stroke of genius by general manager Rob Blake and the Los Angeles front office. Simply put, these players are going to need defensemen like Hults to get them the puck.
Hults could be on the fast track to Los Angeles (which is going through a near-seismic juggling of personnel) which might be just in time to put the finishing touches on what could be titled, “NHL Makeover: Los Angeles Kings” if it was a TV show, (from ‘Kings trade Alec Martinez to Vegas for draft picks as rebuild continues,’ The Athletic, 02/19/2020).
