Yeah. If you are the player, it is simple. Pissing away 6 million to save 300 000. How many years does it take to make that up?

Oversimplified, but... Say you are hanging around doing nothing and really would like 20 bucks. I am the only guy allowed to offer you money, and I offer you 19. Do you take the 19 or tell me to pound sand?

You have a 20 year potential career and think it is worthwhile to pass up 20 bucks one year because you think you can make a dollar more per year.

The team (especially Toronto) will make money. Odds are already that they don’t win the cup. Smart management generally bases decisions on probabilities over technical possibilities.

A year off for the player due to pride over a small percentage of earnings is idiotic.
