LA Kings Fans - Let's play GM
Ok, now that the season is officially over it's time to start thinking about next year. There are many decisions that this team needs to make over the next few months with the draft and pending RFA's and UFA's as well as potentially re-signing players with contracts coming up soon.
So, I thought we could start off with our own RFA's. Here's the list of who is an RFA and what they made last year...
Richardson - $587,500
Elkins - $803,100
Parse - $550,000
Lewis - $855,000
Cliche - $850,000
Clune - $625,000
Bagnall - $605,000
Gauthier - $525,000
My take is as follows...
Definitely sign Richardson. He's worth $1M-$1.5M/year.
I'd be ok with re-signing Parse and Clune to one-year deals with slight raises.
I'd be ok with re-signing Elkins, Cliche and Lewis for the same amount but wouldn't give either raises.
I'd let Gauthier walk.
I don't know enough about Bagnall to have an opinion - I should look him up.
