I'm sure a guy like Katz can figure out a way to pay Keith under the table. The Patriots did it with Brady for years and the NFL actually pays attention to stuff like this whereas the NHL has rules but they choose to turn a blind eye most of the time, hence the Oilers being able to predetermine Mike Smith failing his physical months in advance despite no reported injuries or offseason surgeries.
