This is his original team he played for from 1999-2003 before signing with the Sharks, and then again in 2012-13 during the lockout. They were in the DEL when he was there previously, have since been relegated. Hasn't played pro hockey since 2018.

I remember Vancouver I believe got him super cheap and I was super pissed.

Penguins legend.

Love to see players just playing for the love of the game.

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

i'll let the Sharks board know!!!

 

[WADEugottaBELAKthat]

Don’t hassle the Hoff

 

[Dirty Dog]

Sabres legend!

5 years is a super long time to go without playing professionally. Has any other player had a gap like that before?

San Jose clearing space for Heatley, the OG solid player cap dump trade

Judging by his smile I’m happy he’s doing something he enjoys. Good on you man.

I’m sure there’s many players who lost their passion a while ago.

Sabres are still paying him until 2027.

 

[Chainshot]

Hope this means his concussion issues are a distant memory and that he's doing this out of joy than out of financial need.

Yeah, they couldn't contrive having him having some dubious medical issue so they took the hit for the league changing the rules on recapture years after they signed him.

Didn’t they use the compliance buyout on him?

 

[JuJu Mobb]

Pretty good Dman in his prime.

Seems he’s motivated to get his old team promoted back into the DEL, they were relegated after last season

 

[Chainshot]

They had to or face future recapture penalties. The league didn't mind when Chicago did it but when Buffalo did it, the rules changed on those front-loaded deals.

 

[Sticktape]

Always had this guy as a depth defenseman on my old NHL create a team for XBox because he was like an 82 overall but had an absolute bomb from the point.

 

[BHD]

That shot though...

 

[PettersonHughes]

Sabres legend!

He must be coming back to fill that RHD spot, since y'all still have him on your books , probably still better than Stillman

 

[nergish]

Pretty good Dman in his prime.

He was probably my favourite player during the Canucks 2011 finals run.

Mario Lemieux missed 3 years.

Gordie Howe missed 17 years.
