The team only loses that kind of money for tax purposes.

For the Kings this is a great way to avoid severe cap recapture but it means long term shorter penalties. The NHL allowed the Kings to get away with one here IMO. They should not have signed off on the breach and forced LA to buy him out. A great way now to circumvent cap recapture. From all accounts he is getting what is owed in any event. So the benefit goes to the Kings.

Good that it is over for all parties.

Isn't there a penalty as well on Voynov or is he completely off the books.
Imagine all the good drugs Mikey can buy for the rest of his life (he he he) however long that may be.

Also Lombardi says he was 'played' by Richards. Hold the fucking press!!!! An addict played someone. Must be tough to be you Lombardi. What a moron.

OV scratched because he over slept and missed practice.

Yeah, but there are different degrees.

Couture was spotted wearing a walking boot (on crutches) within 2 hours of cracking that bone in practice...

I'm going to go out on a limb here and wonder if Couture is younger and in slightly better shape and therefore may heal a little quicker . I could be way off base however . :?

Broken fibula. Not the weight-bearing bone of the leg, and the fracture is in the ankle so it is likely not a complete fracture and the boot and crutches will suffice. It will also mean less rehab than if the leg was immobilized fully in a cast.
