The Los Angeles Kings have bought out veteran defenceman Dion Phaneuf.
Phaneuf has two years left and his seven-year, $49 million contract originally signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs in 2015.
The 34-year-old scored one goal and added five assists over 67 games in 2018-19 with the Kings, his second year with the club.
More to follow.

No takers.

Sounds like they've had enough of Phaneuf!

Didn't see him last year. Can he still contribute as a 6th d-man on another team or is career over?

He could probably go over to Europe if he wanted to, but I think it's more likely. he hangs up the blades.

Might get a NHL PTO come fall.

$4,062,500 cap hit for the Kings in 2020-21. Yikes.

He must be on his best behavior. Couldn't the Kings find a reason to void his contract? Like parking too far from a curb or walking outside the lines of a crosswalk?

I think he could still be a 6/7 in the NHL. Just not on a playoff team.

I think he goes to the Oilers. It'll be funny.

Funny how he is same draft as Burns and Weber who are cruising along well at their age.

Phaneuf was never the same after that hip injury he played through in 2009..
