According to ESPN, none of the money left is guaranteed so the Devils can void it all except the cap hit once he retires. SBNation says the cap hit is around $250,000 per year until 2024/2025.

He actually did a huge favor to the Devils since had he retired a year or so later, the cap penalty would have been almost tripled its current value. Guess the previous lockout ended up souring whatever desire he had left to play in the NHL and decided playing in the KHL was a lot better than the money he dropped.
