Breaking News - Los Angeles Kings nearing deal to sign free agent defenseman
The Los Angeles Kings surprised a lot of teams last season by making the playoffs. While many projected the Kings to miss completely, the failures of the Golden Knights assisted the Kings in their push. Now a year removed from the playoffs the Kings are looking to take a major leap forward.
The Kings remain one of the only teams to have multiple restricted free agents unsigned, with both Mikey Anderson and Sean Durzi without contracts. But today it seems like Rob Blake has managed to close the gap with at least one of his young defensemen.
Elliotte Friedman shared the following information:
Hearing Mikey Anderson and LA getting close on a one-year contract. Good player, one of the remaining unsigned young D.
Last season in 52 games Anderson only had 8 points, but appears to be a major part of the Kings defense going forward.
Update: The contract is for 1 year and $1,000,000
