Kings sign Gabriel Vilardi ($825,000 AAV) and Jaret Anderson-Dolan ($750,000) to one-year extensionsjsn

Awesome work by Blake. Now hurry up and trade them.

And some were worried about the cap.
BTW, Vilardi's is a one-way deal, Anderson-Dolan's a two-way.

With an estimated $1.5m to sign both Anderson and Durzi I can see why...

People on Twitter are saying more like $4M?

Vilardi has turned into a disapointment. He was drafted with high pick by the Kings and here it is what 2 years later and he signed for 850,000. this shows he hasn't developed into the player he was drafted to become. Blake shouldn't be too happy about a top pick not panning out like he was expected too.

Just a little contract FYI. Both Vilardi and JAD agreed to new contracts that were a little lower than their qualifying offers. In Vilardi's case, he did this because he was able to secure a one-way contract. In JAD's case, while still on a two-way deal, they agreed to bump his AHL salary from $70,000 to $100,000.

I read an article to that effect too so there seems to be a gap before capfriendly and what others are reporting. The last estimate was that both Anderson and Durzi would receive $2m/yr contracts so that would put us right in line with our cap space (provided that actually occurs). Surpised the estimate for Anderson is that low, to be honest.

Surpised the estimate for Anderson is that low, to be honest.

Here's how I calculate it.

With 15 forwards, 7 defense, and 2 goalies signed...and including all the other stuff, they're at $80,986,667. So that's $1,513,333 in cap space.

But when they sign Anderson and Durzi that'll be 9 D with 15 F. So at a minimum they'll have another $2,332,500 by sending down/waiving Andersson, Spence, & Moverare. More if they demote Kupari and/or Bjornfot instead.

So as of right now, they effectively have $3,845,833.

But it could be more if they plan on carrying 13 forwards (demote Kaliyev or risk losing Andersson on waivers), which would give them another $800k or so.

But they also have to keep enough space for when players get hurt short-term but still count against the cap, and they need to bring in someone in to play.
