I'm curious though from a generalized contract amount around the league, at what point does an extra dollar on that contract mean less to most players?
I'm sure everyone is glad to take home more money, because more is generally better for most of us. But when you're as rich as many professional athletes are, it make me wonder if anyone making over a certain average pay is as satisfied as anyone else making more. Is Makar more satisfied with his contract than Lindholm if he can buy 10 new boats instead of 6 on any given year?
I'd imagine once you've hit that 6.5-7AAV (maybe 3.5million take home after all the deductions) and are relatively wealthy, you're overall satisfaction probably isn't substantially higher making 9-10AAV. I don't expect any discounts from either Johnny or Tkachuk with that in mind, but would be interesting to know if anyone approaches any contract negotiations with that in mind.
