Contract talks between Milan Lucic and the Los Angeles Kings appear to have simmered down.
Gerry Johansson, the two-way forward's agent, joined News 1130 Radio in Vancouver on Monday and noted there has been no talks of late between his client and the Kings regarding a new contract.
Despite the recent lull in communication with the club, Johnasson admits his client would still like to remain with the Kings.
"Milan Lucic would love to re-sign with Kings but is preparing for July 1 as well," said Johansson.
Lucic is coming off his first season with Kings, where he finished fourth in team scoring with 20 goals and 55 points.
