Los Angeles has signed Scott Laughton to a three-year, $3.5 million AAV contract extension ($10.5M total).
The Los Angeles Kings acquired Laughton in a trade from the Toronto Maple Leafs before the trade deadline last season. The 32-year-old forward's eight points (5G / 3A) in 21 games with the Kings were enough to earn him a three-year contract extension worth $10.5 million ($3.5M AAV).
Los Angeles has signed Erik Gustafsson to a one-year contract worth $1 million AAV.
Gustafsson has seen notable success at the NHL level, primarily when given an opportunity on the powerplay, but fell out of favour last season with the Detroit Red Wings, spending most of the 2025-26 season in the AHL. The 34-year-old veteran defenseman has 240 points (47G / 193A) in 517 career NHL games.
Los Angeles has signed Jan Jenik to a one-year, two-way contract.
Jenik was a third-round pick of the Arizona Coyotes in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft and has played 24 career NHL games, but has spent most of his career in the AHL. The 25-year-old Czech forward scored 17 points (9G / 8A) in 43 AHL games last season.
Los Angeles has signed Lane Pederson to a two-year, two-way contract.
Pederson is an undrafted forward who has never made his presence felt at the NHL level, playing just 76 career games, but has become a reliable depth piece who performs well in the AHL. The 28-year-old Pederson scored 48 points (23G / 25A) last season in 63 games with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms (AHL).
Los Angeles has signed Scott Perunovich to a one-year, two-way contract.
Perunovich was a high-pedigree prospect, drafted 45th overall by the St. Louis Blues in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft, but has not been able to translate his talents to the NHL level. The 27-year-old defenseman scored nine points (2G / 7A) last season in 35 games split between time with the Blues and the New York Islanders.
Los Angeles has signed Corey Perry to a one-year, $1 million AAV contract.
Perry signed with the Los Angeles Kings last offseason on a one-year contract before being dealt to the Tampa Bay Lightning at the trade deadline. The 41-year-old forward will return to the Kings to start the 2026-27 season on a one-year contract worth $1.0 million. Last season, he scored 37 points (17G / 20A) in 72 combined games.
Los Angeles has signed Mats Zuccarello to a one-year, $1 million contract.
After seven successful seasons in Minnesota, Mats Zuccarello will start a new adventure in his 17th NHL season after signing a one-year, $1 million contract with Los Angeles on Wednesday. The 38-year-old Norwegian winger has surpassed 54+ points in each of his last five seasons and is expected to provide an offensive spark to Los Angeles who finished 4th worst in the NHL in goals for in 2025-26.
Los Angeles has signed Erik Haula to a two-year, $3.5 million AAV ($7.0M total).
One of the dominos of free agency has dropped after it was announced moments after the signing window that Los Angeles has signed Erik Haula to a two-year, $3.5 million AAV ($7.0M total). The 35-year-old is entering his 14th NHL season with his eighth organizations after spending last season with Nashville where he had 14 goals and 38 points in 81 games played.
