The Kings/Manchester are "on a two-year lease" (Not sure which two years those are, when it expires, etc)
The Sharks/Worcester have a lease that expires after 2014-15?
Once the lease is up, they can do whatever. Or cover their butts in the language of the new lease. Moving the AHL team to their ECHL market and sell off the ECHL franchise to be relocated when they're done.
The Kings lease runs through the 2015-16 season, but according to this article, that wouldn't stop them:

"The company that owns the Kings and Monarchs, AEG, has a lease with the Verizon Wireless Arena through the 2015-16 season, but that would not prevent the team from leaving according to Abbott."
