  1984 NHL Entry Draft -- Al Iafrate
By early March, Iafrate was skating 2-3 times per week for periods of up to 30 minutes, and it appeared he was ready to make a comeback.
By early March, Iafrate was practicing with the team again and appeared to be on track for a comeback before the end of the 1995-96 season.
Iafrate, however, was set to become an unrestricted free agent, and the Bruins had little intention of re-signing him.

Iafrate was no exception, and, although he displayed flashes of brilliance in 1983-84, he lost confidence suiting up for a poor defensive team.

The Bruins contend that the injury that cost Iafrate the '95-96 season was not hockey-related, and his salary is therefore not the Bruins' obligation.
Look at it this way: Iafrate wins his dough and walks (not skates) away, and that's one less complication (read: excuse) when it comes time to rebuild the Bruins for Stanley Cup contention.
As for Iafrate, not only did he have chronic knee woes, he brought a pack-a-day smoking habit with him to Boston.

Free-agent signees or players acquired in trades, including Gary Suter, Jeff Norton, Doug Bodger, Al Iafrate and even current general manager Doug Wilson, had their chances, but all were on the back sides of successful careers.
Suter came the closest of the experienced group to filling the role as an offensive threat from the blue line.
In San Jose, Suter was paired often early with Stuart, the team's first-round pick taken third overall in 1998, and was as much as playing a mentor role as anything else.
