HA HA HA HA
And unicorns and Hogwarts are real.
It doesn't work that way, especially on long term deals. You might have a point if Conner hits 31 or 32 + and doesn't have a championship.
But trust me when I say, most players don't feel its their responsibility to get paid less to win a championship, they feel that its up to the owners and GM's to build the team and spend the money. Period.
Also lets look at Bobby Orr's client list, did Taylor Hall take less from the Oilers to build a winner? Nope, How about Plekanec? Hell no, Jeff Skinner? nope, how about Ekblad who just signed a 7.5 million dollar extension?
Bobby Orr is one of the more hadcore PA agents out there, he's in it for the good of his client and not for the good of the team.
