LOS ANGELES — On April 12, the Los Angeles Kings signed left wing Alex Iafallo to a four-year contract extension valued at $4 million/year (average annual value).
A bit surprisingly, there has been some criticism of this deal, with the belief that Iafallo should not have been signed for that much money, that he is not worthy of his position as a top-line winger with center Anze Kopitar and Dustin Brown.
Despite the criticism, Iafallo was very positive when he spoke to the local media.
“I’m very excited to be here,” he said.
