After saying he had no desire to go anywhere other than Los Angeles earlier Thursday, head coach Darryl Sutter reportedly agreed to terms on a new contract with the Kings, according to Lisa Dillman of the Los Angeles Times.
An official announcement is expected Friday, and Dillman also revealed Sutter could be in for a significant raise, reporting his annual salary would be higher than the $3 million per year earned by Edmonton Oilers coach Todd McLellan.
Last year, the 57-year-old made a reported $2.25 million.
Sutter joined the Kings midway through the 2011-12 season, where the team went on to win the first Stanley Cup in franchise history. Since then, his team has made playoff appearances in three of the last four seasons, including a second Cup victory in 2014.
