Chris Johnston @reporterchris
Tanner Pearson signs a four-year extension with #LAKings carrying $3.75M AAV.

How much do they have left for Toffoli?

[TheScorpion]

That's a really solid signing for the Kings.

[N-E-B]

Wow, that's a really good deal for LA if you ask me.

If you ask me, people have his torrid streak at the start of the 15-16 season in the front of their minds calling this a steal. He's 25. What you see is likely what you get at this point. He looks to be a 25-25-50 guy. Just shy of $4M seems right on-money.

Did not buy a lot of UFA years, which is a significant departure from what Lombardi usually did.

[Mass_nerder]

Not too bad.

Kings have $62 million committed next season for 9 forwards, 6 d-men, 1 goalie according to cap friendly.

Which gives them roughly 11 million in cap space to re-sign Tofolli, 3 more forwards, 1 d-man, 1 backup. That assumes they have no bonus overages, they don't lose a roster player in the expansion draft, no buyouts, and Dustin Brown isn't caught littering by the highway patrol.


Definitely possible fo them to easily fit Tofolli in if they go with ELCs and near NHL minimum to fill out the roster.

[Roof-Daddy]

Flames should offer sheet Toffoli a 5x6 just for trading for Bishop at the deadline.

Stupid idiots. Yeah Bishop was going to get you over the hump when your team is #### full of over paid garbage.

Man I'm bitter right now.
