Alex Laferriere Secures His Future with the Kings in a Multi-Million Dollar Deal
Forward Alex Laferriere has agreed to a three-year, $12.3 million deal to continue his career with the Los Angeles Kings.
The official announcement was made by the Kings this Saturday, ensuring the permanence of Laferriere, who was a restricted free agent this summer after his entry-level contract ended.
Laferriere, 23, proved his worth during the past season, recording 19 goals and 23 assists. He established himself as a reliable scorer in his second NHL season.
His performance on the right wing, mostly alongside center Quinton Byfield and the outstanding Kevin Fiala, was key for the team.
Selected in the third round of the 2020 draft, Laferriere has 31 goals and 34 assists in 158 games with the Kings.
The new general manager of Los Angeles, Ken Holland, has resolved his main contractual issues of the summer with the signing of Laferriere. Holland expressed last month his interest in securing a long-term contract with Adrian Kempe, who is in the last season of his contract.
