Alex Edler is remaining in Los Angeles. The Kings announced on Tuesday that the 36-year-old has agreed to a one-year contract worth $750,000. Edler's contract also includes a $750,000 games played bonus.

The Ostersund (Sweden) native has a fairly good first season in Los Angeles. He appeared in 41 games during the regular season, recording nineteen points (three goals, sixteen assists), 34 penalty minutes and was a plus-eighteen.
