If the NHL gave each team a compliance buyout right now, who would you want your favourite team to use it on?

That Rick DiPietro contract is one of the biggest fails in NHL history, if you also consider they burned a first pick where they could have gotten Dany Heatley, and they traded away Roberto Luongo to make room for him.

Luongo was a sieve in the playoffs. He was ONLY above average in regular season which is quite useless hence why luongo lost the role in 2011 to Schneider and was traded off. I think be knew it too, hence the early retirement compared to real hall of fame cup winning tenders like Brodeur. I was a big lu fan as a young goaltender growing up. But facts are facts. He couldn't handle playoff extra effort and pressure.

Was gonna say the same thing. Back in 09, it was why they structured it this way. If he retired before the 12 years, he'd only be losing out on a few million and the Wings got a cap hit of $6mil while guys at his skill level were getting $8-9mil cap hits.

Bryzgalov is my second-favourite former NHL goaltender by a close margin, but Bobby Lou owns my heart.

Wish I could make $1 million a year and retire. I would be so happy!

As a Lightning fan, and Lecavalier being my favorite hockey player of all time, I dont care what anyone else says about Vinny. He is extremely nice, and gives back to the community of Tampa, and absolutely loves Tampa. I'm very glad OhNyquists feel at least mostly similarly. Stat wise maybe he wasn't worth his pay, but as a person, and hockey player combined, absolutely.

Rick D I swear use to almost cry when he was in alfond arena in college when the fans would get on him..anyone who's played in Maine gets that the crowd is literally over your head for 2 periods it is a barn for real grew up there and played there... From middle school through red shifting as freshmen

There's also Marian Hossa but Blackhawks traded his rights to Arizona

Rick Depietro is the Bobby Bonilla of hockey, and they are being paid by teams in the same city. lol

Ken Holland made a lot of really bad contracts that strapped the Redwings for a while they are starting to actually come out of it this year.

I remember him coming to Nucks camp after crazy good preformance at world juniors and the anticipation of good things to come. False rumors, a misdiagnosed back injury, and a shocking trade later, it was years before his actual condition was revealed. He had a heart arrhythmia, and suffered blackouts from malignant hyperthermia, the genetic disorder that ultimately caused him to retire far too early. Sad finish to a promising pro career.

It was a sad day when Hank and the magic man retired.

Lacavalier was a stud, baffles me they'd let him go like that.

Why did Grabovski stop playing though? I just now realized he wasn't still playing.
