And I know all about players going overseas, and believe me its not that bad depending where they land. No they wont make as much money and in a case like MT substantially less, but the living conditions for these guys are top notch. Its harder for married guys with kids, but as a single guy, he would be just fine.
Though none of this will happen, but there are options for players that teams dont have, and thats OK.

I don’t think they have to be “just as good”. Obviously Tkachuk in helps, but do this miss the POs without him? I think not. And he is looking to be paid like an indispensable man.
As for overseas teams, the KHL playing conditions are atrocious. And the living conditions are as well. Ask Commodore about life in the K. He can tell you about the team missing paycheques from time to time, and the crappy cities that he played in.
Switzerland living is better, but the league isn’t as good.
