Kings Sign Justin Williams to Four-Year Contract

The Los Angeles Kings announced today that they have signed right wing Justin Williams to a four-year contract worth $14.6 million. The deal averages out to $3.65 million per season. He would have been an unrestricted free agent this summer. In 62 games this season, he has 20 goals and 29 assists for 49 points and 53 penalty minutes. Not a bad move for the Kings, as Williams brings lots of offensive depth to the wing. He also has some speed and some defensive skills. His only downside is that he is a bit prone to injury, but when healthy, Williams can be a good scorer and offensive contributor for the Kings. If he can stay healthy over the next four years, he will be a solid contributor for Los Angeles.
