Marleau was traded when he refused to play for any other team than the Sharks so the Canes knew they had to buy out the deal and carry the entire cap because Marleau was over 35 when signed. Monahan was traded with injuries so those 2 deals are somewhat accurate but have an asterisk next to them for those reasons.
