This condition was a convenient way to help the team escape cap penalties. Make no mistake he would have played last season if his contract paid him $4 million as he was still a 25 goal and solid all around player. That contract basically caused him to retire early while he could still play which is a shame.

How does this make any sense at all? He would've gotten paid 4 million whether he played games or not that season.
He's getting paid the same whether he steps on the ice or not.
