Italics indicate players on AHL contracts.
*Pinelli's contract will slide a year because he did not play a minimum of 10 NHL games. His current ELC will therefore actually run through 2025-26. To read more about slides, visit your old friend Capfriendly.

Other Players Not Included
Players on AHL contracts who primarily played in the ECHL (Alex Ierullo, Tyler Inamoto, Nikita Pavlychev, etc.)
Players who have not yet signed professional contracts (a prospect tracker is coming later this summer!)
Lukas Parik (G), drafted in 2019. Parik played for the Reign briefly in 2021-22 but was not re-signed. The Kings own his NHL signing rights until June 1, 2023, after which point Parik would be able to sign an NHL-level deal with any team. Given that Parik was not kept in the organization in 2022-23 (he had an AHL-level deal with the Colorado Eagles but played entirely in the ECHL), it seems unlikely that the Kings are going to extend him a contract before June 1.
