Anybody know of players who chose to drag out signing extensions and then either received a major career ending injury or had a dismal final season thus having to accept much less than they could have received?

Did you that new Leaf John Klingberg once did that. Now a Leaf for 1 year @ 4.15 mil.

John Klingberg turned down massive offer before free agency​

He has to be furious with himself now!​

On Friday, it was announced, sort of unexpectedly, that John Klingberg had agreed to a one-year contract with the Anaheim Ducks. It was a surprise that Klingberg agreed to a one-year deal. Sure, it will pay him $7 million, however, it was believed that Klingberg was looking for a long-term deal.

And now we find out that he had a long-term offer on the table! Jeff Marek revealed that the Dallas Stars had offered Klingberg an eight-year deal at at $7 million AAV earlier in the year, but Klingberg’s camp wanted closer to eight years, but at $8 million (which Marek reported at the time).

Since his agent told him to turn him down and we now see what happened in the days leading to his contract with the Ducks, we get why Klingberg fired him. Klingberg switched agents, from Peter Wallen to Newport Sports, possibly in the hopes of making something happen in order to sign a lucrative deal as a free agent.

That's unbelievable. How stupid it was (if true) for an agent to tell him to turn that down.

When you factor in the no state tax in Texas vs the very high state tax in California and the fact he and his family (if he had any kind of no trade protection would be set for a good number of years in one location.

I can't get my head around the stupidly and/or greed by his agent and also Klinberg for agreeing not to sign.

Cody Franson was offered a 4 or 5yr deal at $4M per (2013) and he turned it down only to get nowhere near that offer from a non-Nonis GM that wasn't desperate. He ended up suing his agent I believe along with some lady that had hit his car claiming she cost him future earnings even though it happened several years before the Leafs offer.

Franson definitely is the one that stands out to me. The guy basically passed on what would have been his retirement contract

Latrell sprewell, apparently turned down 21 million never played again and then went bankrupt. Maybe he was correct, omg!

I forgot the part where he went bankrupt. I think the NBA (and probably other leagues) mandate rookies take classes how to take care of the money you are about to make. How to deal with the "friends" who are going to come out of the woodwork now that you have money.

Feel like this will happen to Nylander if he plays too much.

Hall amd Kadri were looking for that payday but didn't get what they wanted.
