I suppose you could say the failed Dadonov deal, but that was at TDL with particular urgency (and now they've moved him at no real cost).
Useful overpaid older players still fetch positive returns (MAF, Leddy, Keith LOL, Stastny, Schmidt, etc)
MAF is a good example of this gamble paying off - CHI acquired him for basically nothing and got a 2nd for him at TDL.
TLDR: $5M #5/6 D required sweeteners. Most other overpaid players with 1 yr term haven't.

Forget Patrick Marleau costing a 1st with 1 year left? I guess the buyout implication was a factor there
Based on what you are saying it should be a breeze to ship out Lucic and/or Monahan on Seattle?
