Report: Kings' Adrian Kempe Asking Price On Next Contract Revealed

The Los Angeles Kings will soon have to focus on trying to re-sign forward Adrian Kempe, and while there is no indication he has any interest in leaving the organization, his asking price was revealed in a recent report from The Fourth Period, and the two sides are expected to ramp up contract talks soon.

Kempe, who is 28 years old, scored 35 goals and added 38 assists for 73 points through 81 games last season. Throughout his career, he has scored 194 goals and added 207 assists for 401 points through 630 games, which comes out to a 0.64 points-per-game average.

According to PuckPedia, the Kings should currently have around $37.8 million in cap space for the 2026-27 season, which leaves them plenty of room to re-sign everyone they want to bring back, including Kempe. 

A deal should get done at some point, but for now, nothing is close to being done.
