An $8.5 million cap hit comes under market value + Evolving-Hockey’s projection for Filip Forsberg. It helps to have a stellar season ahead of hitting unrestricted free agency. pic.twitter.com/ReiWxNwQk3

Adrian Kempe, signed 4x$5.5M by LA, is a top-six scoring forward who had a nice break-out season. Very effective player off the rush, even though it means giving some back defensively. #LAKings pic.twitter.com/sIpQPmeynK
