A player can obviously be hired as a coach. But if he's hired as a coach an is getting 10x more than a coach would be getting, the league would investigate and almost assuredly determine it is cap circumvention.

McDavid sets the bar for every other player in the league, thats just not happening. The PA would have a heart attack
This has been pointed out by @Fourier a number of times already. But in a hard cap, there is no reason for the NHLPA to care. The amount of money players get is fixed and tied directly to league revenue. McDavid taking a larger slice of the pie just means that others get a smaller slice. He'd be raising the bar for the 1% of the league that is the elite of the elite, and lowering it for everyone else.

Ya, we’ve already seen how that works, high draft picks year after year.That's OK, they would still have Nuge to carry the team.
If draisaitl leaves it’s because he wants to get paid instead of winning. So I’m fine with that.
The same thing happens when you can only get those who want to get paid. Just ask Calgary.

What you deserve to get paid is what you are going to do. Not what you have done.

I see this said quite often. But has the PA ever actively stepped into a completed negotiation to try to change it?

It is so easy to curtail the CBA if you want to gain an advantage signing players, but it requires all parties to shut their traps.
I would create a shell company, etc. Partner up with a players wife, who has her own company. Maybe we buy a apartment building, etc. Something where she gets a nice amount of income per month. But then she can't tie that to her husband. That part is all based on trust. Husband is already rich anyways if something happens.
Problem is if things go sour, sh** can hit the fan.
Say they get a divorce. She is like Kanes mentall ill ex. Starts blabbing, even to mess her own stuff up

I know they got mad at Weight when he tried to stay in Edmonton for 4-4.5 mill. What did he sign in STL for? 8? While the Oilers were giving them revenue sharing too lol

Honestly I bet this is what happens. What are the comparables? Imo MacKinnon. McDavid isn't cash motivated. He wants big money but he doesn't need or want to get top dollar. He understands the cap and he believes the cup is close.
One could point to Toronto but look at the players who signed with the Oilers this summer for a shot at the cup, taking less to do so. MacKinnon left money on the table too, because both the Oilers and Avalanche are genuine cup threats. The Leafs have not built anything close to that so of course their players will take the money.
Edit: the ultimate offseason outcome here is that both Draisaitl and McDavid play a role in convincing Bouchard to take a bit less

I remember the poster during 2020-21 North Division campaign, the Nurse cheerleader that was vocal during every game and after every game that spoke, Darnell needs to get paid 9M, Nurse needs to get 10M, the Oilers might have to pay Nurse something that starts with an 11.
lol no one was saying this

I know it happened, and I didn't say it happened every game. Cross reference every game Nurse scored and look into those threads on those dates and you'll find plenty of representative cases. My recollection is not faulty. Are you flat out calling me a liar?

You can't even remember what you posted within the past few hours. Why would I possibly believe your recollection from more than 3 years ago.

I meant look into every game day and post game thread to find some examples, I didn't mean every game day and post game thread was jam-packed with "pay Nurse 9M dollars or more" quotes. Could you be any more insincere?
Alright you've convinced me. You didn't mean every game. You just meant every game.

You just proved you can be more insincere. Now I'd like to find out why.
