Had no idea it was much cheaper to buy out a young player's contract...surprisingly buying him out wouldn't be that difficult to cope with salary cap-wise.
However, I don't see the Kings going that direction and as much as I am not a fan of PLD's effort/attitude, he has consistently gotten better in the 2nd season with a team. He still won't ever be worth that contract, in my opinion, but could be close to the 50-60 pt mark next year if he repeats his previous patterns.

There are intangibles that he brings to the team and to my mind they are not positive. Listless, indifferent and a frequent flyer to the penalty box all make him poison to the team and coach. He has shown no interest in playing to his potential and he would be a coach killer. The only thing that might keep him there, is that management would be unwilling to admit they made a mistake.

So now itβs Oilers or Canucks?
This is a tough one to call.
At the very least, there will be a Canadian Team in the WCF.
Cheers,

Surprised to hear PLD is heading to the world's taking away time from His summer holidays. And the Kings have said they will not do a buyout.

Surprised to hear PLD is heading to the world's taking away time from His summer holidays. And the Kings have said they will not do a buyout. One of those surprised/not surprised things. It may be the right thing to do but it would take an incredible pair of gonads to do that buyout...to give up 3 players and 2nd round pick and then pay for the buyout on top of it (still very significant even at the reduced rate). I don't envy the Kings continuing to be at the mercy of PLD to decide if / when he's going to decide to care.

He's a lost cause. Let LA keep him. One less team for the Jets to climb over in the standings. As I wrote earlier, management maybe unwilling to admit they made a mistake. Admitting that, does take cujones. Big or small, it doesnt matter!
