A week has passed and it’s time for another LA Kings weekly prospect update. Several players could’ve highlighted this week’s update but a prospect from the WHL took that title. That player is Koehn Ziemmer.
Ziemmer played in two games for the Prince George Cougars (WHL) and recorded five points (4G-1A) in those two games. The first game saw Ziemmer record a goal and a primary assist against the Moose Jaw Warriors. He was named the third star of the game.
The second game of the week saw Ziemmer score his 100th career WHL goal and a hat trick later on with an assist. With five points in two games during the week, Ziemmer has 16 points (10G-6A) in 10 games on the season while playing as the second-line center for the Cougars. It’s safe to say he has looked fine after missing most of last season with an ankle injury.
Was there ever any doubt that Ziemmer would find the hatty?@LAKings | @CarlsJrCA https://t.co/8wg3Nv8yVz pic.twitter.com/6t6USBe7NO

2-time Stanley Cup champion with Kings announces retirement
Kyle Clifford, a two-time Stanley Cup Champion with the Los Angeles Kings, has announced his retirement. While he had not played in the league since 2022, he was holding out hope for another contract. But his enforcer play style is of a woebegone era, and he never got the chance. Even with the Kings beefing up their roster this offseason, he could not get a veteran’s minimum contract. Clifford spent the 2024-25 season with the Toronto Marlies of the AHL. According to MayorNHL on X, formerly Twitter, he will join the Maple Leafs in a player development role. He played the final 25 games of his NHL career with the Leafs and is an Ontario native. Clifford is most known for his time with the Kings, where he won two Stanley Cups. He was there for ten seasons as a fourth-line forward, never scoring more than 11 goals. But as an enforcer and strong locker room presence, he was an important part of their second championship run. In the 2014 Stanley Cup Playoffs, he played all 24 games, scoring just seven points and racking up 39 penalty minutes. He brought his game into the postseason that year and helped Los Angeles bully their way to a Stanley Cup. During the 2019-20 season, the Kings traded Clifford to the Maple Leafs. When he hit free agency that summer, he landed with the St Louis Blues. They still had the 2019 Stanley Cup core and were hoping Clifford could bring some energy to their bottom six. After 52 games in two seasons, they traded him back to Toronto during the 2021-22 season. He finished off that season and played two more games in 2022-23 in Toronto. Clifford will not be in the Hall of Fame or have his number retired. But his contributions to two Stanley Cup winners will be remembered in LA for years to come.
Jalen Milroe surges past former NFL starter on first Seattle Seahawks depth chart
Despite being viewed as a potential first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, former Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe ended up sliding into the third round. The 22-year-old — who was the starter for Alabama for two seasons — was selected with the No. 92 pick by the Seattle Seahawks. Although every player's dream is to go in the first round, Milroe likely couldn't have gone to a better situation. There is virtually no pressure on him as the Seahawks signed former Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold to a three-year, $100.5 million contract this offseason, and they also have Drew Lock, who has started 28 career games on the roster as well. However, based on ESPN's initial depth chart, Milroe may be climbing the depth chart sooner than most expected. Seattle Seahawks depth chart As reported by ESPN, the Seahawks depth chart goes as follows: QB1: Sam Darnold QB2 Jalen Milroe QB3 Drew Lock If this truly ends up being the case, Milroe has taken major strides following his final season at Alabama. During his last year in Tuscaloosa, Milroe was criticized heavily for forcing passes into windows that weren't there after being late on reads. In his final season at Alabama, Milroe threw a career-high 11 interceptions to just 16 touchdowns, an increase of five more interceptions than he threw in 2023. Although training camp is still ongoing and the preseason games have yet to be played, clearly, Milroe is finding some success in the Pacific Northwest.
Gap between star WR Terry McLaurin, Commanders revealed
As of Thursday morning, the Washington Commanders and Terry McLaurin remained in a contract stalemate after the 29-year-old wide receiver in the final year of his current deal requested a trade. During Thursday's edition of the ESPN "Get Up" program, NFL insider Jeremy Fowler noted that the Commanders and McLaurin are locked in "a classic standoff" as McLaurin allegedly looks to secure "parts" of the five-year, $150M deal that the Pittsburgh Steelers gave DK Metcalf this past March. "They have been far apart," Fowler said about the negotiations between the Commanders and McLaurin, as shared by Joseph Zucker of Bleacher Report. "...[McLaurin] has wanted metrics of the DK Metcalf contract, which is $32M. I'm told the Washington Commanders have only been slightly above where he was before, which is $23M. So take that gap, that's $7M to 8M that they have to bridge." Fowler added that Washington "has got some calls about McLaurin" this summer because "there's some interest league-wide" in learning whether or not the wideout could become available. For what it's worth, numerous reporters have said since McLaurin went public with his trade request that he likely won't go anywhere before Washington opens the season with a home game against the New York Giants on Sept. 7. ESPN's John Keim mentioned that Washington's joint practice with the New England Patriots on Wednesday showed that the Commanders "need McLaurin back on the field" as soon as possible. That's understandable, as McLaurin recorded team highs of 117 targets, 82 receptions and 1,096 receiving yards to help quarterback Jayden Daniels become the Offensive Rookie of the Year for the 2024 season. Additionally, McLaurin finished the 2024 campaign ranked second in the entire NFL with 13 touchdown catches. As of Thursday morning, DraftKings Sportsbook continued to list a Washington team coming off a trip to this year's NFC Championship Game sixth among the betting favorites at +1800 odds to win Super Bowl LX. Perhaps Wednesday's joint practice will spark more positive conversations between McLaurin's camp and the Commanders that will result in the playmaker rejoining summer practices as soon as early next week.
Padres Officially Release Veteran After Disappointing Season
The San Diego Padres announced Wednesday that they released veteran catcher Martin Maldonado, who was designated for assigment last week. The writing was on the wall when the Padres acquired Freddy Fermin from the Kansas City Royals at last Thursday's trade deadline, upending their catching tandem. Fermin, 30, immediately got the opportunity to take the lion's share of innings behind the plate that he was never going to get in Kansas City. The Padres designated Maldonado for assignment in a corresponding roster move, ending the 38-year-old's tenure in San Diego. Maldonado hit .204 with four home runs and 12 RBIs in 64 games, splitting time with Elias Diaz. The 2019 American League Gold Glove Award winner, Maldonado has played 1,230 games for seven different organizations since his 2011 debut. Maldonado is a career .203/.277/.343 hitter with the Milwaukee Brewers (2011-16), Angels (2017-18), Houston Astros (2018-23), Royals (2019), Chicago Cubs (2019), Chicago White Sox (2024) and Padres (2025). More to come on this story from Padres on SI.
