Kings’ Adrian Kempe Reportedly Agrees to $85 Million Max Extension
- Adrian Kempe and the Los Angeles Kings reached an agreement Sunday on an eight-year, $85 million extension with a $10.625 million average annual value through the 2033-34 season.
- After months of talks, Adrian Kempe reportedly accepted slightly less money to stay as Ken Holland prioritized re-signing him ahead of Anze Kopitar's retirement next year.
- On the ice, Adrian Kempe has recorded at least 67 points in each of the past three seasons and has 200 goals and 420 points across 649 games for the Los Angeles Kings.
- The deal immediately ends months of speculation about Adrian Kempe's future, removes a major impending free agent from the 2026 free-agent market, and lets the Los Angeles Kings refocus on their playoff push.
- In the broader market, Adrian Kempe's $85 million deal is the richest for a Kings forward and observers note he likely accepted a discount amid recent high-profile forward extensions.
