Los Angeles Kings ink 27-year-old defenceman to contract extension

According to multiple sources, the Los Angeles Kings have agreed to terms on a multi-year contract extension with pending unrestricted free agent defenceman Vladislav Gavrikov.

Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman is reporting that Gavrikov's contract with the Los Angeles Kings is for two-years and worth $5.875 million per season.

Meanwhile, Chris Johnston of TSN added that Gavrikov will have a full no-movement clause and his contract is almost entirely made up of bonuses, with his actual salary only being $775,000.

Gavrikov, 27, was dealt to the Kings at the trade deadline this season, along with goaltender Joonas Korpisalo. In 20 games during the regular season, the Yaroslavl native had nine points and added one assist in six games during the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Vladislav Gavrikov's two-year extension with #LAKings includes a full no-movement clause and is paid almost entirely in signing bonuses -- $5.725M this July 1 and $4.475M on July 1, 2024.
