I agree some of these contracts are absurd but once a player actually hits the ice for anything under the contract it should remain in effect. A little late for the NHL to go back now and quite frankly I don't see how this can go anywhere anyway. The players union is not going to allow the NHL to go back and nullify contracts years later, and rightfully so. Its like filing a grievance a couple years after the incident, too late. There must be some time limit in the CBA for either party to challenge?
