Breaking News: The Kings re-sign a resident tough guy!

It looks like the L.A Kings will look to remain tough for another few years. On Tuesday, the Kings agreed to a three-year deal with pending RFA forward Jordan Nolan. As per TSN, Nolan, 25, signed a deal worth $2.85 million. That represents an average annual value of $950,000, a nice pay bump from the $750,000 he’s making on his current deal. The four year veteran has spent his entire career in Los Angeles, helping the team capture the Stanley Cup in 2012 and 2014. It will be interesting to see what the Kings do with their other tough guy Kyle Clifford. A pending RFA, Clifford is playing on a one-year, $1.075M deal and has proven to be an important contributor; he’s fought a team-high eight times and is on pace (three goals, 10 points). This would eclipse his career high of 14 points set last season.
