Yay!

@DarrenDreger 20m
LA avoids salary arbitration and agrees to terms with Jordan Nolan on a 2-year deal -- AAV $700,000.

Now just Lewis and Jones left and we're good to go.

Don't forget about Clifford....

Jones?

 

[TonySCV]

Lewis is key - his contract can really throw a wrench in things.

Lewis is key - his contract can really throw a wrench in things.

I can't see it being more than 1.2 per.

 

[Ron*]

I can't see it being more than 1.2 per.

He might fetch more than that. All indications are he is close to breaking out (finally). He had a very good year last year, his best, even as the season was shortened. His skating has improved tremendously.

We have to sign this guy. Hopefully, before arbitration...which I think is July 23 deadline, please correct me if I am wrong.

me either

Martin Jones is out of contract?

 

[KINGS17]

If Clifford and Lewis are both re-signed and none of the forwards or defensemen are moved in a trade, there is going to be some pretty fierce competition in training camp.

 

[tigermask48]

Jones, and Bodnarchuk are still RFAs without new contracts. Doesn't effect the Kings cap much since I doubt either wants a lot of money and neither will likely be on the Kings and effect the cap.

Awesome

Rob Blake better get to work...

 

[BigBrown]

Nice, I was thinking he might get 750 or 800 but 700 is a good deal for the Kings. Hoping for a bounce back season.

 

[Sacha Baron Corbin]

700 is a good deal, I expect Nolan to bounce back this season.

 

[Mats26]

I like these 2 year deals. It gives us some flexability(via trade) and salary structure for next year when hopefully the cap goes up.

 

[Sam]

So the Kings have about $3 million for Clifford, Lewis, and injury call-ups.

 

[Telos]

Don't forget about Clifford....

What Clifford? If he's on the block then we don't need to sign him.

Jones?

Martin Jones still needs to be re-signed for Manchester.

 

[apadilla]

good deal for both the Kings and Nolan,

now Nolan needs to find his form from the Stanley Cup run,

 

[Reclamation Project]

Give Lewis what's reasonable. He deserves every penny.

 

[KingKopitar11*]

What's with the Yay? Basically means Clifford is gone for 100%

 

[BigBrown]

No it doesn't, they play on opposite wings.

 

[YP44]

Nolan had a terrible year. Not sure what he proved to get him more than league minimum other than being big.
hopefully he bounces back to how he looked in 2012 after his call up.

It would be hard to keep him, our cap space is going to fall around $1.5 million now with Clifford and Lewis remaining to be signed. If we sign them both, we have to move someone. It is clear that we are moving someone anyway, but Clifford is in a bad spot. We just traded for a left wing who specializes on the fourth line and is a better pest/fighter, that was sort of Clifford's last bastion on the team. I have a feeling the organization now sees Andreoff as a Clifford replacement.
