*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.
