Dominic Hasek did it in 2002.

...And even so, there are younger goalies who will be UFAs next year (Grubauer, Binnington, if I'm not mistaken). Good goalies usually become available prior to expansion drafts.

Yuck. I will happily pass on both Grubauer and Binnington.
And while there may be a few goalies freed up for the expansion draft I am also pretty confident that not one of them will be as good as Jacob Markstrom.
