"After suffering their fourth-straight first-round Stanley Cup Playoff exit at the hands of the Edmonton Oilers, the Kings stuck to the main pieces of their roster when approaching free agency. They extended former Canuck Andrei Kuzmenko by signing him to a one-year deal. In free agency, they added Joel Armia, Cody Ceci, Brian Dumoulin, and former adversary Corey Perry. While they did bring in more names than just these four, L.A. also parted ways with Vladislav Gavrikov, Jordan Spence, Tanner Jeannot, and David Rittich."
