One national writer from The Hockey Writers declares that the Kings had the "worst" offseason of any NHL team this summer and going into the upcoming 2025-26 season.
In the summer for the 2025 offseason, new general manager Ken Holland and the Los Angeles Kings were one of the busiest teams in free agency, adding grit and proven experience in key areas of the roster where it was needed. Holland and the Kings added a couple of proven and experienced players to the bottom-six forward lines and brought in more experience and depth on the blue line, with signings like veterans Brian Dumoulin and Cody Ceci.
