By Ryan Sikes
The LA Kings assigned14 players to the Ontario Reign as the team trends towards a 23-man roster for the 2021 regular season.
As teams around the league are finalizing their 23-man rosters counting toward the league’s $81.5M salary cap, the LA Kings sent 14 players to Ontario on Monday. Here is the list:
- Daniel Brickley – D
- Cole Hults – D
- Sean Durzi – D
- Jacob Moverare – D
- Markus Phillips – D
- Aidan Dudas – C
- Mikey Eyssimont – C
- Rasmus Kupari – C
- Tyler Madden – C
- Akil Thomas – C
- Samuel Fagemo – LW
- Boko Imama – LW
- Jacob Ingham – G
- Matt Villalta – G
Brickley and Imama were placed on waivers on Sunday, going unclaimed. The 23-man roster does not include the 4-6 AHL players the LA Kings can carry throughout the season. My projected taxi squad players are in bold.
