Kings' Alex Iafallo: Agrees to four-year extension

Iafallo signed a four-year, $16 million contract extension with the Kings on Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Iafallo likely would've been traded if he didn't agree to this contract. The 27-year-old will be a key part of the Kings' core as it nears an inflection point in the rebuilding process. Iafallo has collected 11 goals and 14 assists through 39 games this season. He should continue skating on the top line for the rest of the season.
