Trade Deadline Reactions - Blake, McLellan, Iafallo, Kopitar
This morning, the Kings re-signed forward Alex Iafallo to a four-year contract extension, locking up a key piece of the puzzle moving forward. The contract process with another free agent at the end of the season, Andreas Athanasiou remains “ongoing” per Kings General Manager Rob Blake and talks have taken place over the last two days. Athanasiou is a restricted free agent at the end of the season, negating the rush, and Blake has liked the fit for Athanasiou with the Kings this season.
