Another one of the key RFA's of the Summer has been struck from the list, as the Los Angeles Kings have re-signed forward Tyler Toffoli, giving him a new deal worth $6.5 million over the next two seasons.His $3.25 million cap hit should be a pretty good bargain for an improvement on his 23 goals and 49 points in 76 games during the 2015 season, where he ranked 80th among all forwards in scoring. At age 23, his career trajectory is heading in the right direction and he could be a pretty good pick-up in the 5th round of the hockey pool draft.
The Kings are back to putting together a competitive side for the 2016 season, now having most of their key free agents in place and likely letting some older talent move on. By my early count, I have the Kings in with 19 players at around $64.6 million, giving them plenty of room to wiggle in some free agents under the cap ceiling.
