Exactly. I am willing to live in and love any city with all my heart if I am offered a 3 year $21MM USD contract. I’ll shout it from the rooftops and have daily press conferences and visit hospitals or whatever. Honestly whatever’s required actually, I’m in. Then when the deal is up, I’m willing to love and live in whatever new friend is willing to pay me $XMM USD contract...
Tkachuk especially has shown that he’s mostly interested in money. Same with Gaudreau and Monahan. Their play before and after payday should say it all. And that’s not even meant as some kind of big dig on these guys, their human, but I just don’t see the desire to win. What is motivating them now?
