Los Angeles Kings: ranking the top-ten prospects in their system

Rookie tournaments and training camps around the National Hockey League are set to get underway in less than four weeks, it's time to take a look at the top-ten prospects on each of the 32 teams.

Multiple different sources use different criteria for their rankings as to what players classify as a prospect. For my lists over the next couple of weeks, I will be using the following two requirements:

- A player is considered a prospect if: he has played less than 25 NHL games in one campaign.

- Less than 50 NHL games total in their career.

Next team up is the Florida Panthers. Let's take a look at the ten best prospects in their system, starting with number ten and counting down to number one.
