5. (134) - Cole Hults (D)

Maybe the most under the radar Kings prospect would be more apropos.

Him and Jordan Spence have definitely flown under the radar.

Spence is 4th overall in points/game by a defenseman while anchoring the best defensive team in the Q. Hults is leading all Big 10 defensemen in scoring (probably just outside the top 5 in NCAA scoring from the blueline).

Definitely want to hear more about Hults. Don’t get to watch him but his stats seem pretty damn good...anyone think this guy has a chance to make it as a top 4 D some day?

Really like this kid. Should have been ranked higher in our prospect rankings.

What kind of d-man is he? Any comparables?

Most of us know next to nothing about him, so that explains the rankings

It's going to be hard to get a read on him until he plays in the AHL to see where he is fundamentally and skill wise. Penn State I understand plays an uptempo game. Rosen has been complimentary of his game in the past.

29 points in 32 games...not bad actually.
