Kings Re-Sign Richardson, Cliche, Elkins, Lewis, Clune

The Los Angeles Kings have announced that they have re-signed left wings Brad Richardson and Richard Clune, centers Marc-Andre Cliche and Corey Elkins, and right wing Trevor Lewis to one-year contracts. The Kings avoided arbitration with Richardson by signing him to the one-year deal. The financial terms of all five contracts were not disclosed. Richardson isn't a bad signing for the Kings, as he brings plenty of energy and some toughness to the lineup. Lewis isn't a bad signing either, as he has some two-way upside. Cliche, Clune, and Elkins are really just depth signings for the team and are likely to spend most of next season in the minors.
