It’s official: Kings sign center Anze Kopitar to eight-season, $80-million contract extension

The Kings made it official Saturday. They signed center Anze Kopitar to an eight-season, $80-million contract that begins in 2016-17 and runs through 2023-24, which means he could be a King for life. There is a no-movement clause for the first four seasons, then changes to a limited-movement clause in which Kopitar would submit seven teams to which he would accept a trade.
