Can anyome help me understand why Joseph Corvo was immune from the Waiver Protection List. Based on NHL rule he should have been protected by LA Kings.

Corvo signed his 1st contract at the age of 21, would be immune for 3 years or 80 games. More than 3 years has elapsed so he should have been protected.

I'm not sure. If I had to guess, it probably has something to do with the fact that he quit hockey for a year.
