The LA Kings have signed forwards Corey Perry to a one-year contract with an average annual value (AAV) of $2,000,000, and up to an additional $2,000,000 in performance bonuses, through the 2025-26 season,

The Kings also signed goalie Anton Forsberg, who played regularly the last four years with the Ottawa Senators, to back up Darcy Kuemper. But the defense was the focus for Holland, other than taking a shot at Mitch Marner. It remains to be seen how the Kings’ usually stout defense will look in October.

Perry, age 40, brings experience and a winning tradition, having appeared in five of the past six Stanley Cup Final series.
