During the lockout, the New York Rangers did not assign him to the AHL, as in the previous two season, to avoid having to pay him his salary of $5M for the season. On January 16, 2013, per a special NHL compliance buyout clause after the lockout, the New York Rangers bought out what was remaining on his contract (for his prorated 2012-13 salary of $5M and two-thirds of his 2013-14 salary of $5M to be paid in two equal payments of $1,666,667 over two years starting in 2013-14) and he became a free agent. On January 18, 2013, signed a one-year contract with the St. Louis Blues for $800,000 in salary plus a possible bonus of $200,000 for games played. Earned $2,926,829 from the New York Rangers (a prorated version of his $5M Rangers salary to be paid per the special buyout clause) and $668,293 from the St. Louis Blues (his $468,293 prorated salary plus the $200,000 bonus). Retired as a pro hockey player after the season.
