Historical Figures
Former Owner
Bruce McNall famously acquired Wayne Gretzky in a trade with the Edmonton Oilers in 1988, transforming the Kings into a national phenomenon and putting hockey on the map in Los Angeles. However, his fortune was built on fraud, and he was eventually convicted of bank fraud and conspiracy, forcing the sale of the team. McNall served nearly six years in federal prison.
