The 34-year-old has played 32 games between the Edmonton Oilers (14) and Los Angeles (18), posting one goal and five assists over this season, mostly for the Kings. He averaged 11:15 in LA and has played center in the past, boasting a career 53.8 percent faceoff percentage.
According to Hedger, he carries a $1.1 million cap hit, most of which has already been paid by his other two clubs this season.
