Kings Secure Quinton Byfield with 5-Year, $31.25M Extension

The 21-year-old forward's breakout season leads to a substantial contract, solidifying his role in the team's future.

Byfield recorded career-highs with 20 goals and 55 points last season.
The contract covers four RFA years and one UFA year, ending in 2028-29.
Byfield's improved performance included significant contributions on special teams.
He is expected to take on a larger role as veteran Anze Kopitar nears retirement.
The Kings have reached the playoffs three consecutive years but were eliminated in the first round by Edmonton each time.
