Kings sign Toffoli to 3-year, $13.8M extension

The Los Angeles Kings signed forward Tyler Toffoli to a three-year, $13.8-million contract extension, the team announced Wednesday.

The 25-year-old - who will make $4.6 million annually - was set to become a restricted free agent on July 1.

Toffoli is coming off a down year that saw him post just 16 goals and 34 points in 63 games, his lowest marks since the 2013-14 campaign. His goal count was still good enough for third among all Kings players in 2016-17.

He's also just one year removed from a career-high season that saw him post 31 goals and 58 points in 82 games.

The new contract means Los Angeles has locked up its two future stars (Toffoli and Tanner Pearson) for at least the next three seasons at a combined $8.35 million per year - not bad value.
