The fifth-year head coach is signed through the 2024-25 season, putting him on the same timeline as general manager Rob Blake and his lead assistant coaches
Kings head coach Todd McLellan talks to his team during the NHL Global Series match against the Arizona Coyotes on Sept. 24, 2023, at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne. One of Kings coach Todd McLellan’s favorite clichés is “moving the needle,” and late Thursday it was confirmed that he’d moved it enough to stick around at least a bit longer on Figueroa Street..
McLellan’s contract now runs through the 2024-25 season, creating a parallel timeline for the agreements with McLellan, general manager Rob Blake and lead assistant coaches Trent Yawney and Jim Hiller. McLellan’s initial deal was believed to be worth $5 million annually, but no further details were clear regarding the extension.
With 575 NHL coaching victories, McLellan ranks 23rd in league history and fifth among active coaches in wins. His career points percentage trails that of the New York Rangers’ Peter Laviolette for the highest among their contemporaries by literally the slimmest of margins, .001%. When McLellan assumed control of the Kings’ bench, the organization was in disrepair, with the fruits of their two Stanley Cup triumphs withering on the vine and the roots of the organization decaying beneath a slew of traded picks and a few failed prospects.
After a season punctuated by NHL award nominations, rock solid defense and a playoff berth in 2017-18, the Kings had finished dead last in the Pacific in 2018-19, which led them to seek out McLellan. In his first season, the team struggled but finished the campaign by reeling off seven consecutive wins, a streak that was halted only by the suspension of play amid the outset of the pandemic.
