It escapes by June 24th, his birthday.I thought it was under 25.
Yes, because he's still 25. Buyout is 1/3. After this year, it escalates massively.
Buyout window is either June 15th, or 48 hours after the cup is awarded. If the last game is June 22nd, LA can't, well they can, but it goes to 2/3rds instead of 1/3rds.
LA needs the playoffs to end no later than June 21st in order to have the option to buy out PLD at 1/3rd.
If it's 2/3rds I have to imagine the Kings just keep him for another year and see. Might even do that considering that they'd owe him a cheque's for 14 years, making the NHL's Bobby Bonilla day.
