Chilliwack Bruin sensation Oscar Moller signed a three-year entry level contract with the Los Angeles Kings earlier this week.
Terms of the agreement were not disclosed, however, entry level salaries vary between the league minimum of $450,000 and the entry level maximum of $850,000 per year. Despite only suiting up for two playoff games for AHL affiliate Manchester Monarchs, his play impressed the Kings brass enough to offer a big league contract.
The signing means that Moller, 19, must crack the Kings lineup next year or be sent back down to the Bruins because of AHL rules disallowing players under 20. NHL teams are, however, allowed to exercise up to nine regular season games as a trial period, before deciding whether or not to keep a junior-aged player.
