What's the purpose? Is he working back from injury? Or is he simply sucking this year? Hard to replace Nabokov these days now that he's accepted his fate on Long Island.
I could see a team in need of a goalie picking up Dipietro on the off chance he works out and then buys him out at the end of the season. Who he goes to I am not sure, but I could certainly see someone taking a flyer out on him

If the Flyers had any cap space, I could see them claiming him. He'd be a better backup than Leighton or Boucher.

If by too much fun you mean no fun at all I agree.
Eh, he has not had many quality starts this season and statistically he has been inconsistent at best. If he starts trending upwards that is fine, but the times I have seen him (not many) he has not looked particularly very good.

He hasn't had many "quality" starts because the team D in front of him is porous, at best. He has games where he can keep them in it, but you can only do so much.

there is little to no chance that a team would pick him up on waivers. he should be bought out at the season end and then work for a contract on a backup basis. dont know why anybody in their right mind would take a flyer on that contract.
Are you kidding!? The guy gets a 7 year, $30 million vacation, and you feel bad for him?
Everyone has bad things happen to them, but not everyone can sit on a beach for a few years afterwards to rethink their lives...
He seemed to have a promising career ahead of him, so yea, I kind of feel bad that he has been so riddled with injuries.
But, yes, all that $$$ is a consolation.

They'd almost have to trade him and a pick to a team that could afford to buy him out for free. They're poor.
