The Los Angeles Kings have agreed to terms on one-year contracts with restricted free-agent forward Michael Cammalleri and goaltender Adam Hauser, and a two-year contract with unrestricted free-agent defenseman Marty Wilford.
Cammalleri, 23, appeared in 79 games during the 2004-05 season with the Kings’ American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Manchester Monarchs, recording an AHL-best 46 goals and recording 109 points, which were second most in the league. The 5-foot-9, 180-pound native of Richmond Hill, Ont., added another six points (1g, 5a) in six Calder Cup Playoff games with the Monarchs.
Cammalleri skated for the Canadian AHL All-Stars at the 2005 Dodge AHL All-Star Classic and was named an AHL Second Team All-Star at the conclusion of the season.
Originally selected by the Kings in the second round (49th overall) of the 2001 NHL Entry Draft, Cammalleri has 23 points (14g, 9a) and 42 penalty minutes in 59 career NHL regular season games, all with the Kings. He has added 71 goals and 97 assists for 168 points in 133 AHL contests with Manchester.
