The Kings have now officially bought out the final year of goalie Dan Cloutier's contract. He's off the roster, but a portion of his salary will still count against the salary cap. The Kings will take a salary-cap hit of roughly $1.03 million in each of the next two seasons.

I wish Cloutier the best of luck in the future. But as far as the Kings go, all I'll say is FINALLY!

Definitely a relief to be moving on from that misstep. Hope Danny Boy catches on elsewhere and finds some success.
