ADRIAN KEMPE - Center - 23 - $2.00MM Cap Hit - RFA in 2022-2023
LAST UPDATED 6/22/19
While Kempe took a step back along with most of the LA Kings this past season, he's still one of their more promising young players. He's a fast, skilled skater with the straight-line speed to be an asset in transition and as a backchecker. He's not shy to play a physical game, and he can assert himself in front of the net and in the corners, able to dig for pucks and create rebound chances. He's not an amazing playmaker, lacking high-end instincts and puck skills, so he'll likely be a winger full-time as his career progresses, (and his faceoff skills are bad) but given his speed and ability to play decent defense Kempe looks to be a solid, fast middle-6 contributor for the course of his career.
