He is making $11.6 million dollars. $141,000 per game, which is double what the average college educated person in Canada makes in a single year.
At some point, enough is enough. You can't just look good out there, you have to f***ing produce. This has been going on for nearly a half season's worth of games, including throughout a run where this team should have had a legitimate chance to win a Stanley Cup.
They do not have the ELC talent to make up for his plummet off a cliff. He was a problem at $7 million the way he's been playing...at $11.6 million, he has one of the worst value contracts in the entire NHL.
