Forever the punchline since signing that 15-year deal in 2006, Rick DiPietro was placed on waivers today, effectively ending any chance of his revival with the New York Islanders. Of course, any team can claim him, but with a health history that would make the Tin Man look healthy in comparison, combined with a not-so good 2013 so far, the Islanders will now have nearly $9 million either in the minors or sitting at home, as Tim Thomas was acquired a few weeks back from Boston in what was a salary cap dump by the Bruins. And now, you may make your DiPietro jokes starting...now.
