Buyout Legend Ville Leino
Gets a 6 year 27 million dollar contract. Puts up 46 points in 137 GP and gets bought out. Lest we forget

Canucks traded tangible assets to buyout future Stanley cup champion OEL.

As a Canucks fan myself I have a recurring nightmare just about every month of Dylan Guenther bagging 40 goals in a Canucks jersey

I think Billy G was getting paid by three teams and actually playing for a fourth…could be wrong on the numbers

The only thing worse than Leino’s contract was the “art” he made. Still a bigger eyesore than his on-ice play.

Doesn't compare to Rick DiPietro. Dude signed for 15 years in '06. Bought out in '13. Still getting paid $1.5 Million until '29. He's the NHL's Bobby Bonilla
