While the deals aren’t official until today, the Kings got two of their most pressing July 1 needs out of the way early, by announcing the signing of Ilya Kovalchuk and the extension for Drew Doughty. With few roster spots needing filled, the Kings are likely to be fairly quiet today, but that doesn’t mean that we’ve tuned out entirely from the news.
We’ll be bringing you live updates throughout the day on this post so you can keep up with former Kings, possibly future Kings, our Western Conference rivals, and, who knows, maybe something wacky will happen.
