Haula Reunites with Childhood Friend Armia in LA

Erik Haula is heading to Los Angeles with genuine excitement about the opportunity ahead, and the fact that he'll be reuniting with childhood friend Joel Armia adds another layer to his enthusiasm. The connection between the two players could create chemistry on the ice while providing off-ice comfort during the transition. For the Kings, landing a veteran forward who's genuinely thrilled about the situation is a bonus that doesn't always show up in box scores.
