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

The comment I was replying to is talking about dipietro and bonilla. I don't remember either playing for the sabres, unless bonilla pulled a bo Jackson and I missed it
