it was a great outcome for the Kings. they will be ditching salary and dont need the cap space and managed to save a whole lot of real dollars. where was the risk to the Kings? how did they list on this deal? the only person who took a risk was kovy by voiding the contract and walking away from real $
I mean, it's great for the owner's checking account balance but that's about it. I don't know how $6.25M in dead cap space plus the cost of a replacement player puts the Kings in a better spot.
I guess I'm struggling to find where I should be envious of the Kings in that situation. Are they returning the money to the fans by dropping ticket prices or concessions? Cash back rebates?
For cap purposes, it's just like they have the player, but they don't. In our case, at least we're saving cap space by having him in the AHL.
Kovalchuk is very selfless I guess though, he's spreading his wealth around and now sits on 3 different NHL cap sheets for this year and next. What a guy.
