Take this for what it’s worth, but I’m told, by a credible source, that Patrick O’Sullivan’s representatives initially sought an average of $4 million per season. That’s hard to put into context unless we know what the Kings’ initial offer was, but I’m told that the sides have come closer together in recent weeks.

(ADD: My understanding is that at $4 million a year, it would be a short-term contract they were seeking.)
