What happened: The LA Kings signed forward Aatu Jämsen to a one-year, two-way contract worth $850,000. The move was announced Friday and marks the club's first offseason transaction after its postseason run.

Why it matters: The deal keeps a young forward in the organization on a flexible contract that can It is a depth move rather than a roster-shaping splash, but it helps settle one piece of the Kings' offseason planning.

By the numbers: Jämsen's new contract is for one year, is two-way, and carries an $850,000 value. Recent offseason context listed him among Kings RFAs without NHL games in 2025-26.

What to watch: Watch whether Jämsen earns a longer look in training camp or starts the season in the development pipeline. The Kings' next moves should show how much forward depth they plan to add this summer.
