They didn't get lucky. They absolutely cheated, and the NHL looked the other way. This after they got cap relief for Slava Voynov under "Long term injury", despite the fact that he was suspended, wasn't injured at all, and there was no provision anywhere for cap relief in the case of a suspension. The league might as well just come out with a press release that says "we will no longer be enforcing the salary cap vis a vis the Los Angeles Kings".
