Lockhart Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Rich teams might be able to steal some players just be taking on Dipietro's contract (to buyout) Didn't NYI have money problems or was that the last owner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allkill326 Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 To add to my point about how sickly he looks now, this is from 2008: Recently: Just the difference in the size of his arms says a lot about his conditioning now compared to before.

CHIPS Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 So for amusement sake... assume my premise above, that we were willing to take on DiPietro's contract simply in order to buy him out. What would that sort of deal take? To NYI: Schneider (don't think Luongo would waive to go there.. .and NYI might be leery to get into another goalie on a long term contract) To Van: NYI 1st round pick 2013 Niederreiter Hamonic DiPietro (for buyout in summer) Almost no chance of MG spending $30 million of the owner's money like this... but entertaining to speculate.

Provost Posted February 23, 2013 Author Share Posted February 23, 2013 If we pick up Dipietro his cap goes on our books. Don't think we can afford it at all. But on theory let's say this can work. It will be Okposo+ at least coming back this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyking Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 This guy is such a crook. I have to think a majority of those 'injuries' were embellished. Ah man, I'd give my left nut to be making a cool 4.5m for doing nothing, while being able to spend it in the big apple. Seriously though, I understand the CBA has protections against law suits, but the Isles should seriously look at suing this thief! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allkill326 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I don't know how you fake a knee surgery, swollen knee, hip surgery, facial fractures and concussion ??????? I am sorry there is no way you can fake that, especially the surgeries and facial fractures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pouria Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Part of me feels sorry for him. The majority of me would swap careers with him in an instant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pouria Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 This is the ridiculous contract that MG should have taken note of before signing Luongo to his absurdly large contract, IMO. This is an example of what happens when a player signs a massive deal and quite frankly busts, injuries notwithstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allkill326 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 The difference is that Luongo is still playing and still a top goalie and will probably still be a top goalie for 5-6 years more like Brodeur. While Dipietro never had the track record Luongo had in terms of durability, consistency and performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
