It appears that the new leadership of the Los Angeles Kings have made their first official free agent signing. According to The Buffalo News, LA has signed Alex Iafallo, a graduating senior from the University of Minnesota Duluth, to a contract. We’ll update once this has been confirmed; it sounds like pen has not been put to paper yet, but the signing should hopefully be official pretty soon.
I’m told Eden native and UMD All-American Alex Iafallo will soon sign with the LA Kings.

Iafallo is a 23-year-old center who had a breakout season for the Bulldogs; after notching eight goals and 23 points in his junior season, Iafallo exploded for 21 goals and 51 points for UMD as the Bulldogs made a run to the NCAA national title game.
