Draft picks
Los Angeles's draft picks at the 1986 NHL Entry Draft held at the Montreal Forum in Montreal, Quebec. The Kings attempted to select Grant Paranica in the second round of the 1986 NHL Supplemental Draft, but the pick was ruled invalid since Paranica entered school after age 20 and therefore did not meet eligibility requirements.[4]
