LA Kings Off Season Update 8-2-16

During the 2016 NHL off season the LA Kings re signed a couple of players, and had to let some players test free agency. On June 25th the Kings re signed forward number (22) Trevor Lewis to a eight million dollar four year contract with the club. Lewis will get 2 million each year. On July 1st the Kings Signed forwards Teddy Purcell and Michael Latta, and Tom Gilbert (there numbers are 9,14,and 17) the Kings also signed defenseman Zach Trotman (he will wear number 5 for the Kings this season). The Kings also picked up goalie Jeff Zatkof ( he recently won a Stanley Cup Championship with the Pittsburgh Penguins and he will wear number 37 for the Kings this season). Purcell was signed to a one year 1.6 million deal with LA. On July 11th the Kings signed goalie Jack Cambell (who the Kings got in a trade to Dallas for defenseman Nick Ebert at the 2016 NHL Entry Draft) the Kings also re signed defenseman Derick Forbort signed a two year deal and forward Nick Dowd. During this off season the Kings lost a key player in the scoring department in Millan Lucic who signed as a free agent with the Edmonton Oilers this off season. I am hoping for the Kings to do well this season despite losing Millan Lucic. The Kings will re start their quest for the Stanley Cup when the NHL season starts in October. Until then have a great rest of your Summer Kings fans.
