wow Mike Richards signing with Washington.

GOD IS REAL!

How do we retain salary on both? rent we already retaining salary on grosman? thought only two contracts can be retained.
- jmdodgeser4

A team can retain salary on 3 contracts....one of the downsides to this deal is that salary cannot be retained on any deals until this offseason...meaning Streit, Read, Amac, and most likely Gagner are staying

Vincent Lecavalier will play for the #kings for the rest of the season and intend to retire at the end of it. Last season in the NHL.

McKenzie reported it too. That would mean he's off the books entirely next year if so...oh (frank) Hexy you bad man you.

Ren Lavoie just said Vinny is retiring at end of year, Holy crap...

Probably. Unless they want Alt up.

SO: Cap people:

DO they Flyers still have the $2.25M next season, or if he retires, it's gone?

wait what? then why trade him?

Good for them, I wish VLC all the best.

Umberger it was nice knowing you! He's as good as gone I'd think with Vinny off the books entirely (right?) next year if he retires.

It feels like Christmas in here, doesn't it?

DOESN'T IT?!?!?!?!?!?
- AllInForFlyers

wait what? then why trade him?
- 2Real

Because he gets to go out on his own terms, something he couldn't do here. He may not have retired if he wasn't traded.

LA will win the Cup.

Don't give a poop. It won't be because of Vinny.

That high pitch you hear as the wind is blowing in Philly is simply Nutter's screams from up North.

Its wonderful. Truly wonderful.

Ron Hextall is like (frank)ing Houdini

That cap hit is gone gone gone after the season

We have escaped from the most notorious death trap I had seen next to the David Clarkson contract

WE ARE FREE! FREE!!!!!!!!!!!

- Jsaquella

If that happens then no additional salary retention after this year for all 3 Grossmann, Schenn and Vinny

gone
- BingoLady

Yeah, he wasn't 35 when he signed that deal.

Lukes is expiring, who cares. Woooooooo
- hereticpride

Good bye Luke



Good bye Vinny

Guess who is next on Hextall list

Bruce Arthur ‏@bruce_arthur 46s46 seconds ago

So the Kings will have nearly $8-million come off the cap at the end of the year, which helps with an Anze Kopitar extension, I guess?

Because he gets to go out on his own terms, something he couldn't do here. He may not have retired if he wasn't traded.

HEXY IS A GENIUS!!!! lets hope that kid can score more than couturier and be a solid center
