Is that possible? He only had 1 year of a 1.5 million contract left.

Apparently Laraque did say he wants to play again & if he's 100% healthy, why wouldn't someone take a chance with him? There are so many teams that could use him.

I thought that buy-outs for veterans were always two-thirds of the amount remaining on the contract.

detroit looks for toughness then doesn't use it. this may be a good fit though becaise gerorges doesn't want to fight and the wings mgt doesn't want a fighter. it's a match made in heaven.
