The LA Kings have signed 22-year-old Adrian Kempe to a three-year contract extension. Kempe, who was a restricted free agent, will make $2 million per season.
The forward appeared in 81 games last season with the Kings, where he posted 28 points (12 goals, 16 assists) and 50 penalty minutes. It marked the second consecutive season that he played in 81 games. Kempe was selected by the Kings in the first-round (29th overall) in the 2014 NHL Draft. The native of Sweden has appeared in 187 regular-season games for the Kings, posting 71 points and 105 penalty minutes.
Earlier this summer, his brother Mario Kempe was also signed by the Kings.
