Daniel Brière achieves a first in NHL history and surprises everyone
Since taking over as general manager of the Philadelphia Flyers, Daniel Brière has decided to clean up the organization.
Defenseman Tony DeAngelo is one of them. In fact, the NHL blocked a deal between the Flyers and Hurricanes involving him, because according to Gary Bettman, it was a way of getting around the salary cap.
Then, in a twist of fate, DeAngelo got bought out by the organization
"The Flyers have placed Tony DeAngelo on the unconditional waivers for the purpose of a contract buyout." - Frank Seravalli
Despite the fact that DeAngelo is quite a hockey player, he comes with his own set of problems. He'd done well in Carolina, and there's every reason to believe he'll be back there.

Incidentally, DeAngelo becomes the 1st player in NHL history, since buyouts have existed, to be bought out twice. Daniel Brière has thus achieved a first, and he shows no sign of changing his ways. And that's just the beginning!
Tony Deangelo is the first player to be bought out more than once.
