		And during the 2004-05 NHL lockout, which wiped out an entire NHL season, Hull was one of the first NHL stars to go on the record as saying that he would be forced to retire if the 2005-06 season couldn't start on time.

		Per the terms of the new CBA, since Ouellet's NHL salary for 2004-05 exceeded $1 million, the Capitals were required to qualify him at only 100% of his previous year's salary ($1,127,500).

		On August 9, 1988, in a move that drastically changed the dynamics of the NHL, Gretzky was traded with Marty McSorley and Mike Krushelnyski by the Oilers to the Los Angeles Kings for Jimmy Carson, Martin Gelinas, $15 million cash, and the Kings' first-round draft picks in 1989, 1991, and 1993.
