The Kings just spent 4 years stripping the team to trend younger, get rid of bad contracts, and return to competition.
30 year-old OEL has a $7.26M contract which ends in 26-27, a NMC, has had a avg corsi under 50% for the last 3 seasons and has played a game that would seem like he is a bit overpaid at the position.
I believe the Canucks are stuck with that contract unless they want to retain half, and even then the Kings only have like $1M in cap space.
So if OEL waives his NMC, the Kings somehow can move $5-6M in contracts, somehow decide to take on a contract that would pay a player well into his mid-30s, and decide that OEL is actually worth his contract, then I would put the percentage of this happening at about 0.002%
