In fact, Kopitar has expressed his interest in discussing a contract extension with the Kings during the off-season when he becomes eligible for one. As LA's retooling efforts appear to be paying off, it remains to be seen how the 36-year-old Kopitar will fit into the team's future plans.
Despite his age, Kopitar is undeniably a remarkable player and is all but certain to have his number retired by the Kings in the future. It would be great if he were willing to take a significant pay cut to win another Stanley Cup with his team!
