Never finished it, would've been fun to send players I disliked into super risky scenarios to watch them get destroyed.

It's been 15 years since they brought in the shootout and I realized I can't remember a single noteworthy game that ended in a tie. Lots of wins and losses, but I can count on one hand the number of games I can even recall watching that finished as a draw. Man am I happy to never have to see them again.

Ron Tugnutt making 70 saves is the first one that comes to mind. I can think of lots of games that were pretty much even going into the shootout and I'd be fine with them ending in a tie. Could make overtime more exciting if they were trying harder to win instead of just trying not to lose.

It wasn't even backdiving or anything, he was supposed to be paid $4.5M that year. There are two full presidential terms to go on his buyout. He will be nearly 50 when it's done.

Spring Break My Heart posted:Was Weber the last megalong contract? Yes I think so. Looks like it was July 24th, 2012, a few weeks after the Suter/Parise contracts. There weren't any super long contracts signed immediately after that (Looks like Hall signed for 7 years that August) and then the most-recent lockout happened and put in the term limits. e:  tag yourself, I'm Christian Ehrhoff x 10 years Thufir fucked around with this message at 17:33 on Jun 23, 2020 |

Habs fans don't need to worry. The only team that rule was designed to punish in Vancouver has been slapped with the penalty. Every other player on backdiving deals will be allowed to spend the final years of their contract on LTIR. E: is Nick Backstrom the only guy in league history who managed to play out the entirety of a 10+ year contract?

Wasn't DiPietro's contract the first of the mega-long deals? I am not sure people figured out how to circumvent the cap. I don't even know the first one that started adding extra $1m years at the end. ThinkTank posted:Habs fans don't need to worry.

The DiPietro contract was actually reasonable. It was the same amount every year until the end - 4.5M until 2020-21. That would have been his age 39 year, which is about when goalies slow down. So the Islanders were trying to stabilize their goaltending for a decade+ with a practical contract for a fair amount. I can't really blame them for any of that. DiPietro just poo poo the bed a few years later and that was it.
