This definitely puts more pressure on the Kings. With only $7.6M in cap space remaining they still have a pile of RFAs to figure out.
After a strong end of the season and good showing in the playoffs I bet Muzzin is going to be looking for a pretty good raise and I can see at least Clifford as needing a decent raise out of the forwards.
I would not be surprised if the Kings ended up being targetted by an offersheet. I also didn't think they were going to let Penner walk but now I don't think they will have a choice in the matter.
