The conditions couldn't be better on their previous contract. The amount of frontloaded money they cashed out in a year broke them.
Don't blame the players we spoiled. Everyone is trying, but it's getting hard to find more mustard for deserving players! I'm not even joking at this point, what else is there?
Both Mitch and Auston got $30,4 mill in 357 days thanks to a signing bonus. No more tax talk, the odds are they spent two weeks a year in the tropical tax heaven and paid 0 tax on it.
Where I’m alienated as a fan is just seeing this tenacious tone in contract negotiations vs how they are on the ice when they lose to the peasants of the NHL.
