Mike Komisarek – Carolina Hurricanes (1 year, $700,000)

While Komisarek couldn’t live up to the $4M salary he was paid in Toronto, he is still a capable NHL defenseman and will serve like an assistant coach on the ice.  Without the burden of a big salary and the expectations that come with it, Komisarek will be a nice surprise for the Hurricanes.
