The Kings are locking up their future.
The team signed forward Tanner Pearson to a four-year, $15 million contract extension on Tuesday. Pearson’s contract will have an annual average value of $3.75 million.
“First of all, I think it’s probably a great fit. Obviously the main goal was to stay here in L.A. I wanted to stay here for a long term if we were able to come to a deal that was good for everyone, and I’m happy to be here,” Pearson said on a conference call with reporters.
