Overview
- The Kings announced an entry-level contract for center Jimmy Lombardi, a 2025 fourth-round pick at No. 125 overall.
- Lombardi has 21 goals and 41 points in 33 games for the OHL’s Flint Firebirds, including a league-best six game-winners.
- He becomes the second member of the Kings’ 2025 draft class to sign, joining second-round pick Vojtech Cihar.
- Team evaluators describe Lombardi as a shifty, two-way playmaker who must add strength and is expected to follow a longer path to the NHL.
- Lombardi had been committed to the University of Michigan; Pro Hockey Rumors reports he will forgo that commitment after signing.
