Los Angeles: Los Angeles Kings captain Dustin Brown has signed an eight-year contract extension, joining a number of key players committed to the club long-term, the National Hockey League team said yesterday.
Brown, who helped the Kings win a Stanley Cup in 2011, had one year left on his current deal and, as a result, will remain a King through the 2021-22 season, the team said in a statement.
He joined Jeff Carter (signed through 2022), Drew Doughty (2019), Jonathan Quick (2023), Mike Richards (2020) and Slava Voynov (2019) for the long haul with the Kings.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed but multiple media reports said the extension is worth $47m.
Brown, 28, has played his entire nine-year NHL career with the Kings and became the franchise’s first player ever to hoist the Stanley Cup in 2012. REUTERS
