Impact Los Angeles selected Dvorak 54th overall in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft. The 6-foot-5 blueliner was held to 24 games in Czechia's top league last season and managed just two assists. He's likely still a few years away from making an impact at the NHL level.

Tyler Madden - Re-ups with LA Madden signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Kings on Thursday, per PuckPedia.
Impact Madden has spent the last three seasons exclusively with AHL Ontario, recording 69 points over 133 contests. He has yet to make his NHL debut, though he has received a couple of call-ups when the Kings need extra depth. The third-round pick from 2018 is likely to again spend the bulk of 2023-24 with the Reign.
JULY 6 • ROTOWIRE
Samuel Fagemo - Reaches one-year deal Fagemo signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Kings on Thursday, per PuckPedia.
Impact Fagemo posted 32 points in 56 games with AHL Ontario and also collected two goals and an assist in nine NHL contests during 2022-23. The 23-year-old will likely continue to bounce between levels, though the Kings' solid veteran depth could make it difficult for him to see much time in the NHL.

Anze Kopitar - Locked up through 2025-26 Kopitar inked a two-year, $14 million contract extension with LA on Thursday.
Impact Kopitar has one season left on his eight-year, $80 million contract, so he's now locked up through 2025-26. He had 28 goals and 74 points in 82 contests last season, making it the 14th time in his 17-campaign career in which he's finished with at least 60 points. However, Kopitar will turn 36 years old in August, so the Kings are taking a bit of a risk by committing to him at a high cap hit for the next three seasons.
