Chris Sutter is staying in Los Angeles, probably the best news local hockey fans have gotten since the Kings and Ducks made earlier-than-expected playoff exits last month. The promise of watching more of his blissfully unselfconscious dance-cam routines is enough to wish the Kings could drop the puck at Staples Center next week.
Oh, and his father, Darryl, is staying on as the Kings' coach after agreeing to an extension for two years plus an option year, each at more than $3 million per year. The team holds that option, but Sutter would receive compensation if he doesn't coach that year.
