Kovy is a wildcard but he was a much better player than Neal when he saw him last. He's been killing the KHL. I think him scoring 25 goals and 40+ points is a decent bet.

Phaneuf is better than Ryan.

Kings were a 98 point team last season, and with Phaneuf and Kovy I think they are a good bet to improve.

I'd argue the Kings are pretty consistent and not a crapshoot.

They basically had one bad year which was 16/17. Quick missed basically the entire season that year.

Yeah the Kings missed playoffs in 14/15 too, but they had 95 points and went 3-15 in OT/SO. I'd call that bad luck more than anything.
Phaneuf was already on the team that scored 3 goals in an entire playoff series. Kovy is more than a wildcard "killing it in the KHL" you mean getting outscored by players who couldn't make the NHL

You are also forgetting Lindholm/Hanafin>Ferland/Hamilton
