Kings Court: Jack Johnson Signs Seven-Year Extension With Los Angeles

Johnson factored in with three assists, reaching 31 points through half a season’s length. Under this contract, he will receive $3.5 million for each of the first three years and $5 million in the last four. As a blooming defenseman, he has seen his stock skyrocket in the past year, achieving a silver medal with the United States at the Winter Olympics and becoming a stalwart on Los Angeles’ back line.

Head coach Terry Murray is pleased for his young rearguard.
