For purposes of ease in future searches:
The Philadelphia Flyers have traded impending unrestricted free agent defenseman Luke Schenn and seldom-used veteran foward Vincent Lecavalier to the Los Angeles Kings for a 2016 third-round draft pick and 23-year-old center Jordan Weal.
Philadelphia will reportedly retain 50 percent of both Lecavalier's ($4.5 million cap hit) and Schenn's ($3.6 million) contracts. In the short term, this creates $4.05 million of cap space for the Flyers. The other $1.8 million of Schenn's contract will come off the books after this season when the veteran defenseman hits unrestricted free agency. The Flyers would have to retain a $2.25 million cap hit on Lecavalier through the 2017-18 season unless he retires.
However, Lecavalier will retire at the end of this season per Bob McKenzie via a statement from agent Kent Hughes. As such, Lecavalier's salary comes off the books after this season, too. Essentially, this is a quid pro quo arrangement with the Flyers and the Lecavalier camp to allow him to go somewhere where he could have a shot at a Stanley Cup ring.
