Kings Sign Prospect Defenseman Kirill Kirsanov to a Two-Year Deal
- On Sunday, the Los Angeles Kings announced they have inked their 22-year-old defense prospect, Kirill Kirsanov, to an entry-level deal lasting two years.
- Kirsanov, a 22-year-old third-round pick in the 2021 draft, developed in Russia's Kontinental Hockey League before joining the Kings’ system.
- He played 34 regular-season and 2 playoff KHL games last year, won championships at lower levels, and represented Russia internationally in junior tournaments.
- Standing 6-foot-2 and weighing 220 pounds, Kirsanov is a left-shooting defenseman with noted penetrative skating and one-on-one puck skills, projected as a two-way player.
- With Matt Roy's departure and the Kings’ lack of skating in defense, Kirsanov is expected to likely play next season for the Ontario Reign and could compete for an NHL roster spot.
