The Los Angeles Kings recently re-signed pending RFA forward Alex Laferriere to a new three-year contract worth $4.1 million annually. After a strong 2024-25 campaign, this new deal looks to be a steal, and the Kings still have some money left over heading into next season.

The 23-year-old Laferriere had 19 goals and 23 assists last year for the Kings, emerging as a dependable scorer in only his second NHL season. He largely played on the right wing alongside Quinton Byfield and Kevin Fiala.
