Already lots of comment about Rick DiPietro, I made a video like this years ago and he was in that one. These are all new players!

Guessing Bryzgalov was on that one too

Absolutely Right. Mike Millbury still Can't Hear DiPietro's Name (or, The Goalie, Roberto Luongo) that He Shipped Out.

2:20 I'm pretty sure Pekka Rinne had more goals than Justin Abdelkader did in that season, which is still my favorite stat of all time

[@boonjaminbokchoy5725]

It's so odd seeing guys drafted after Patrice Bergeron whose careers ended years ago while Bergeron is still anchoring Boston's best line. Then again, Bergeron is a whole different animal whom I think anyone would love to be on their team even now in the twilight of his career.

[@eliaminator2313]

Great video always interesting to see content like this

[@WarioSaysSo]

Rick Dipietro gets paid until the 2028-29 season = insane contract and the guy have not played professional hockey since 2013-2014 season... and in NHL since 2012. Wow, a total of 15 years with-out having to do anything (2014-2029) and got paid and still gettong paid!!!!! Chris Pronger and Ilya Bryzgalov are close 2nd and 3rd.

[@lesevesel2898]

If I recall, in the NHL, a buyout is half off the remaining contract amount owed payable over double the number of remaining years left when the player was bought out.

[@iem123]

2/3 if I’m not mistaken

[@longliverocknroll5]

@@iem123 depends on age and active years. It can be 1/3 or 2/3

[@iem123]

@@longliverocknroll5 yup, I believe the threshold is 25, but it’s almost always 2/3.

[@thebandboy]

doing a great job with the upload consictency!....keep it goin!

[@iem123]

Buyouts don’t mean you pay the full salary, I believe it is 2/3 of the remaining salary for players over 25 or 27 (I can’t remember which) and 1/3 for players under 25 or 27. In both cases it’s paid over twice the normal amount though, you are right about that.

[@chriscollins1624]

Nice video. Reminds me of Bobby Bonilla from MLB who got bought out in 2000 and will be paid $1.2 mil/year until 2035! One note, players on LTIR still count against the salary cap. If the team is at the cap max when the player gets moved to LTIR they are allowed to exceed the cap limit, but they don’t get to just remove the players cap hit from their cap calculation. If the team isn’t at the max they get no relief.

[@zjsz4954]

Man Kyle Turris is from my area he was so good in juniors we thought he would make it for sure

[@tylerw7847]

Love the content

[@AMan_629]

Isles have 2 of the worst buyouts in history. There’s Yashin who was payed 2.2 mil a year for 8 years (2007-2015) after the buyout and never played in the nhl again. Even though his last season in the league posted 50 points in 58 games. There’s the infamous dipi contract still going strong with 6 years remaining, even though we are approaching the 10th year anniversary of the buyout. Only other buyout as bad as these 2 would be the lacavalier buyout

Seabrook comes off the same year Hedmans contract expires - can probably extend him and stamkos on shorter term reasonable contracts... hopefully

[@insertnamehere313]

Still getting paid after retirement... "Must be fahqn nice!!!!!"

[@troyscott6504]

This is the story of Lupol island

[@TheMightymolar]

Good on Abdelkader's agent for getting that money for Abbey, but jesus Holland was such a moron for signing that contract. Everyone knew that contract was horrible from the jump.

[@9-seven]

Not true at 2:40 -- buyouts do not pay players the same amount of money, and they don't always decrease a player's cap hit.

[@torrey88]

Fwiw, NHL teams do have insurance on career ending injuries for their higher paid players - most likely that is who’s paying these guys. I worked in an MLB front office for a bit and learned this.

[@That90sShow]

Yeah. Imagine what insurance costs for these fragile millenial players

[@anthonydemaio4631]

Pretty surprised that Rick Dipietro did not make the list

[@michaelandrew8493]

Do they get recognized as winning the cup if the team that pays their contract wins? Like Tampa got Seabrooks contract if they win the cup did Seabrook win too? How does that work haha

[@BranNew1]

Thanks for mentioning Abdelkader. what a terrible contract that was.. Thanks Ken Holland.. 🖕 Abdelkader held back Z, and Datsyuk for at least 2 years when he was on that line. 🤦‍♂️ Similar to how I feel currently, about signing a marginal 3rd line center like Andrew Copp for at least 4 more seasons with the Wings. 🤷‍♂️ And.. Yandle’s “Ironman” being beaten by a guy like Phil Kessel is absolutely hilarious.. 😂 Yandles contract is his real Ironman accomplishment

[@martincronje1990]

As someone who recently got into the nhl/ice hokey, the fact that retired players still get paid blows my mind!! Why? It makes no sense! I come from a football (soccer) background btw

[@VGCeilingFan]

when a player signs a contract, they are guaranteed all money involved in said contract.

[@jonmendelson1104]

It depends on how the player retires. If the player is injured in a way that they'll never be able to play again, it's often better for the team to keep the player on the roster on "long term injured reserve" than to have the salary cap penalty for the player officially retiring. Aside from that, as VGCeilingFan mentioned when a player signs a contract they're guaranteed the money from the contract with the exception of if the contract is bought out. If their contract is bought out they get 2/3 of the remaining non-bonus amount of their contract paid out over twice the remaining time on their contract (or 1/3 if they're under 26, but those don't happen often). For instance, the last example in the video Girardi had a contract going from the 2014-15 season until 2019-20, but it was bought out before the 2017-18 season. He had 3 seasons remaining on his contract and was due a base salary of $10M of $3M total remaining due. He got the signing bonuses in full and then had 2/3 of the $10M split evenly over the next 6 years (twice the 3 years remaining on the contract).

[@jacktharp3484]

Forgot Kyle turris exists

[@csnide6702]

If Abdukader plays in Swiss league , why do Wings have to pay him...?

[@davidkruse4030]

He was bought out. It’s called a cap penalty. He could have just as easily signed with another nhl team and the red wings have to pay his cap buyout

[@csnide6702]

@@davidkruse4030 ahhh... not full salary but a cap deal... got it

[@tomiuuttera638]

FALSE; buyout is NOT the same amount of money. Its 1/3 if the player is under 26 and after that it is 2/3 of remaining salary cap streched over douple of time of remaining contract.

[@tomiuuttera638]

BTW you should make a clip about Vinnie Lecavalier. Guy was bought out 2013 and made 4.5 mil 5 years contract the same year. He is still getting paid from the buyout untill 2027.
