Has there been a better UFA contract in the last 20 years?

The few others that come to mind:

Hossa to Chi
Niedermayer to Ana
Belfour to Dal (holy crap, that might have been more than 20 years now...)

None of their teams win cups without them, but I think everyone but Boston still has a really strong chance if you replaced the UFA with another 'pretty good' player. I don't think Boston has much chance of winning with anyone else not named Chara or Lidstrom.
