Signed a big guaranteed contract for his and his families lifetime retirement. Isn’t having the same results. Not the first guy to do it.
Also criticism years ago was he was small and physically wouldn’t be able to fulfill a career in the NHL with big hits. Others thought he avoided all the big hits. Nothing has changed.
This is where the NFL is different. Don’t perform and you get cut. Huge contracts but it’s not all guaranteed.

The only alternative - to which players would NEVER agree - is to hand out only short-to-medium term contracts...say 1-4 years. More than that? Just say no.
