Agent: No recent contract talks between Lucic and Kings
Contract talks between Milan Lucic and the Los Angeles Kings appear to have simmered down.
Gerry Johansson, the two-way forward's agent, joined News 1130 Radio in Vancouver on Monday and noted there has been no talks of late between his client and the Kings regarding a new contract.
Despite the recent lull in communication with the club, Johnasson admits his client would still like to remain with the Kings.
"Milan Lucic would love to re-sign with Kings but is preparing for July 1 as well," said Johansson.
Johansson expects lots of teams to be after Lucic if he hits July 1st as free agent. The hometown #Canucks may top that list.
