The Los Angeles Kings locked up forward Quinton Byfield with a five-year, $31.25 million contract extension ($6.25 million average annual value) that takes him through the 2028-29 season.
Byfield, 21, was the second overall pick of the 2020 draft and has played parts of four seasons for the Kings, but 2023-24 was his breakout year. In 80 games, he set career highs of goals (20), assists (35), points (55), plus-minus (plus-19), penalty minutes (42), hits (66) and takeaways (46).
Byfield was the third player in franchise history to score 20 goals at age 21 or younger, and he contributed to the power play with six goals and 14 points.
The Canadian has tallied 88 points (28 goals, 60 assists) through 179 career games since his debut on April 28, 2021.
