The defenseman, who signed with the Kings last summer, will earn a base salary of $750,000 with a potential additional $750,000 in games played bonuses
EL SEGUNDO –– The Kings have re-signed defenseman Alex Edler to a one-year contract worth $750,000 in base salary, with another $750,000 in potential incentives for games played, the team announced Tuesday.
Edler, 36, had spent his entire career with the Vancouver Canucks until last summer, when he became a free agent and signed a one-year deal worth $3.5 million. He rewarded the Kings by making 41 appearances in which he scored 19 points and skated to a career-best plus-18 rating. Perseverance and toughness had been trademarks of Edler’s career, and that was certainly true in his first campaign with the Kings. In December, he sustained a broken left ankle that put his season in jeopardy. However, he returned ahead of schedule in March, pressing himself into duty as the Kings juggled personnel on a banged-up blue line.
“He was four months, if you look at his ankle, there were two surgeries on both sides. He was coming back, but we really hadn’t progressed him to the point where we thought he was going to get into the lineup,” Blake said. “We had suffered multiple injuries on the back end. He went to Todd and he was the one that said he wanted to play.”
