Contract

$875KCap hitends in 2011, then RFA
$15KCap dollars per point59 points in 82 games

His cap hit for the whole season, set against what he did in the regular season. Lower is better value. In a season still being played the cost per point starts high and falls as the games add up.

The contract

Signed by the Los Angeles Kings on Aug 11, 2008, as an entry-level contract: 3 years and $10.425M, beginning in 2008-09. It runs through 2010-11, with 1 season left after this one, and he is then a restricted free agent.

Season Cap hit Base salary Signing bonus Performance bonuses Paid in all Clause
2008-09 $875K $788K $88K $2.6M $875K
2009-10 $875K $788K $88K $2.6M $875K
2010-11 $875K $788K $88K $2.6M $875K

Each season of the contract, with this one marked. The cap hit is the same every year; what he is paid is not. The pay is as written when the contract was recorded in October 2024, so a later change, such as the rise in the lowest salary for 2026-27, is not shown.

Contracts he has signed

Every contract on record for him, newest first, with the team that signed him to it and the day it was signed. The one covering 2009-10 is marked. An extension is signed while the contract before it is still running, often a year ahead. A row with no team or date is a contract known only by its cap hit, most often one signed since October 2024.
