Helene Elliott of the LA Times: The Los Angeles Kings still hold the rights to defenseman Slava Voynov, but have said that he will never play for them again.
An arbitrator ruled last week that Voynov is eligible to return to the NHL midway through next season – after his 41 game suspension, as 41 games for time served last season.
From the Kings statement:
“From our perspective, the player will not be playing for the Kings. We will now determine the impact of the arbitrator’s decision on our rights to the player and consider our options going forward.
