If I was a Toronto based player who had an opportunity to sign in Toronto as a UFA as a star, I would take a serious hometown discount.
Sometimes these players forget that they don't NEED the money. Players in this day in age with the media spotlight etc, winning a cup and winning multiple cups in the big smoke makes you beyond a legend. A God amongst men in the largest hockey market.
You write your own ticket fame wise. A lot of these guys just flake out after making the big money.
