On Friday, the Los Angeles Kings inked their top pick in the 2018 entry draft, Finnish forward Rasmus Kupari, the 20th overall selection. The 18-year old signed his 3-year entry-level deal, which will give him a salary cap hit of $925,000 before his performance bonuses.Kupari was scouted as a very quick and very dangerous offensive option in the draft and he already carries some solid size at 6'1" and 183 pounds. The Kings don't exactly have a great history of bringing young players up to the big time right away and I don't imagine much will change with Kupari in the mix, unless he can have some kind of camp. He'll likely be one to watch, but probably not this season.
