Meanwhile, the new CBA lets the Isles stay at the floor because of the Redden Rule. It's smart business, even if everyone laughs at it.

I for one feel bad for the guy. He was a tremendous player early on in his career and it's a shame when talent is wasted.

Also, let's keep in mind he was the first of the crazy contracts. He paved the way for the lockout.

well he is no Nabakov but yeah I do feel sorry for his injury woes. Im not sure there were many that had it as bad as him for as long as him. Was a very good goalie. Wish he had a chance to play more but I guess with his contract he still has that chance

btw ... thats Italian for " of the Glass "




second time I post this clip this week but it applies to Ricky

 

[jstewismybastardson]

saw a tweet saying if the Isles buy him out he'd be on the books til 2035 ... Mets are on the hook for Bobby Bonilla til 2035 too

 

[mattola]

About 20 percent of the Isles' cap payroll goes to DiPietro, Tim Thomas and Alexei Yashin

 

[naslundfan19]

Mets are on the hook for Bobby Bonilla til 2035 too

Their 2 highest paid outfielders the year are Bonilla and Jason Bay.

How anyone can possibly feel sorry for Rick Dipietro is beyond me. He's got the most ridiculously long contract in the NHL. Dipietro got benched by a team in Germany's 2nd league during the lockout. Rick wants to play & nobody can blame him for that. We'd do everything we possibly could to stay in the NHL for 4.5M per for the next 8 years too.

Hmm... The Flames did pickup Comeau from the Isles. Maybe Feaster will do Chuck a favor tomorrow? Nah, that would be wishful thinking.

Well I think this probably spells the end of his career, no?

Pronger's era is over, even if he is still signed

Tell ya what, send us Tavares for Comeau and we'll pick up Dipietro. Deal?

Come on Dash.

You'd have to throw in Stajan to make it happen. I know this is just the internets but try to be realistic.

LOL!!

The Buyout is coming. The offseason can't come soon enough.
