He also makes millions in endorsements, because he is the face of the league. Thousands of Oiler fans flew to FLA to watch that game in person.
He absolutely should have made an appearance to accept the trophy that was awarded to him BECAUSE IT'S HIS ####ING JOB! With greatness comes great responsibility - if it's too hard for him to skate out onto the ice, stand beside Bettman for 10 seconds to shake his hand and take some pictures, then I would say he is not worthy of the greatness bestowed upon him by his fans.

I don't get the he is supposed to come out there when his team lost? Yeah he is.
It just shows what a whiney entitled baby he truly is.
A lot of sporting events have the winner and loser on the ice when the medals are presented, and the MVP of the tournament as well. They don't just run away and don't come back.
People in the Olympics stand on podiums. Teams come back at the World Cup to collect the bronze medal lol. You think that is enjoyable.
I hope his mom yells at him
