*coming out of lost season...
Only the bolded are homerun successes leading directly to cups
This isn't quite comprehensive, but there's been maybe 10 cornerstone players change teams as UFAs in the cap era, and another 20-40 guys a tier or two below.
Markstrom is the 2nd biggest goalie to move (after Bob). He and Bouw are probably borderline tier 1.
A lot of these were in the 5ish years after that lockout and ended up as buyouts.
We've definitely had 2 of the top 30 (ie. more than our share), and another 2 of the next tiers (that tend to fail more often than not). Add Hudler, Brouwer, Frolik, Tanev in the 4x4+ realms
