Toffoli has been one of the Kings best players in recent years and even in the postseason as well. The second round draft pick in 2010 has put up 175 points in 293 career games with Los Angeles as well as 21 career playoff points in 43 career playoff games. The 25-year-old also has quite the list of accolades as well.
He won a Stanley Cup in 2013-14 with the Kings, a Gold Medal at the World Championships in 2014-15, and the Bud Light Trophy for best plus/minus with the club with a rating of plus 35. Which isn't too surprising since he was one of the best players in the OHL during his time in Major Junior. He spent his entire OHL career with the Ottawa 67's putting up 333 points in 252 games along with a career plus 100 rating.
Toffoli won the award for most goals 57, and the award for most points 108 in 2010-11. He'd also go on to win the most goals award again the following season when he notched 52. And when he started in the AHL before the NHL, he also made the All-Star teams and AHL Rookie of the Year award. Now the fact the Kings signed him for that much is simply amazing, Toffoli has grown into one of there best top six players and many thought he'd receive more than $5 million per season, I guess he just loves LA.
