[Signing] Kings sign Clifford. 5 yrs $1.6 mil aav

[sureLoss]

@FriedgeHNIC: Clifford 5 yr extension in LA, AAV $1.6M

[Bar-Down]

This could make Bouma even more expensive to re-sign this summer

[Poe969]

wow sureLoss, you're everywhere!

Good deal for the kings, long term but good.

[devo22]

wow, that is a lot of term for a 4th liner.

[Cheerio]

Smart deal for the kings, keeps the cost low on their bottom 6 forwards so they can keep dishing out big money to their key guys

Clifford getting this type of extension could lend to Bouma getting something similar, although likely for 1M per.

Bouma - 5 years, 2.6M per wouldn't be the most outrageous thing.

Both players are 24, Bouma is the better player but definitely decent comparables. I'd love to see something for Bouma in the 5 years @ 2 to 2.5'ish range.

Bit of a raise for both Nolan and Clifford. Good deals have been signed the last two days for the Kings.

[Erick Estrada]

Wasn't he the rumoured return for Gagner last year at the deadline?

[Bourque's Twin]

5-year term for a 4th liner seems like a lot.

I hope Bouma signs for 4 years at around $2 million per.

[sharkov]

I would be happy if we signed bouma to that amount

my bet is bouma is going to get komarov money (3yr x $3 mill)

[corporatejay]

That's a long term for a depth player, yikes.

No.

Bouma has played himself into the $2 million area. A 3 or 4 year deal for that would be ok.

[Bezer]

Agreed that 5 years seems really long for Clifford

[CorsiHockeyLeague]

Don't sign bottom six guys for five years. Just don't do it.
