## Resource

Drew Doughty and the Kings are delaying his extension talks, aiming to play out the next two seasons before deciding his future in LA, while Brandt Clarke locked in a five-year deal that buys out one year of unrestricted free agency. With six defensemen already signed, any major moves will likely require trades, and Ken Holland confirmed center and mobility upgrades remain top priorities, with Jacob Moverare unlikely to return and younger players like Jared Woolley and Kirill Kirsanov on the radar. The team is still exploring center options, possibly moving Alex Laferriere or pursuing free agency, and remains active in trade talks — with plenty of time left before September to see what unfolds.
