Andrei Loktionov: Dropped from PTO
Loktionov was released from his PTO with the Kings on Wednesday, Jon Rosen of Fox Sports West reports.
Originally the Kings' 2008 fifth-round (123rd overall) draft choice, Loktionov has appeared in 155 NHL games for the Kings, Devils and Hurricanes, contributing a modest 48 points (22 goals, 26 assists) and 22 PIM. His failure to reunite with the team that drafted him makes it worth wondering whether he'll be able to find work elsewhere at hockey's highest level. Besides, he hasn't played in the NHL since 2013-14 with the Hurricanes, and his last three campaigns have been spent in the comforts of his native country with Yaroslavl Lokomotiv of Russia's KHL.

Kings' Andrei Loktionov: Inks professional tryout
Loktionov signed a professional tryout agreement with the Kings on Thursday, LA Kings Insider's Jon Rosen reports.
Loktionov left the NHL following the 2013-14 season and has spent the past three years playing for KHL Yaroslavl. The center will return to the organization that drafted him in the fifth round of the 2008 NHL Draft. In 59 appearances for Los Angeles, the 27-year-old tallied seven goals and seven helpers -- not exactly the level of production the club was hoping for after Loktionov put up 66 points in 51 contests during his one-year stint in the OHL. The Kings aren't very deep down the middle, which should help the Russian's chances of securing a spot on the 23-man roster.
