Vincent Lecavalier waits to address expected retirement

After his final Stanley Cup Playoffs run came to an end earlier than he must have expected, Los Angeles Kings center Vincent Lecavalier declined the opportunity to address his anticipated retirement.

The 36-year-old former No. 1 overall pick, who accepted a lifeline from the Kings after a largely unsuccessful run of two-and-a-half seasons with the Philadelphia Flyers, said he will wait to comment until he completes his exit interviews.

Lecavalier has plainly stated prior that retirement occurs at the end of the season - a condition believed to be worked out before his acquisition.

He's owed $6 million with a $4.5 million total cap hit over the next two seasons, due to be split between the Kings and Flyers.
