For the second auto:

• it is #30 which means there is a 99.999999% chance that it is a goalie

• Rob Blake was made captain after Gretzky was traded. The uniform he is wearing in your picture means it was taken sometime between the latter part of the 1995-96 season through the end of the 1997-98 season. After that, they changed the sweater & logo design.

• no one wore #30 for the Kings at the NHL level during that interval. Manny Legace had that number for L.A. during the 1998-99 season, but that is not his signature

So, your next bet is to either look for whether or not someone in the Kings organization may have worn #30 at the AHL or ECHL level; or, check which goalies in the NHL wore #30 during 1996-1998.

My first thought was that could be a Japanese auto. I looked up the Goalies for the 1998 Nagano Olympics (referenced on the poster), and I saw the starting goalie for the Japanese team was someone named Dusty Imoo. He apparently played for the LA Kings as well. I couldn't find an autograph of him however and I couldn't find him in a #30 uniform. Long shot but who knows. Maybe someone else from an Olympic team?
