He is never, ever, ever going to get anywhere close to $4.5M again as long as he lives and he probably knows it.
Well since NHL contracts are guaranteed he would be paid $4.5 million USD this season regardless. Oilers are hoping a KHL team is willing to pay a part of that $4.5 million in exchange for him being on their KHL team.
