Jeff Skinner signed for $3M after making $100M.
He’s got three straight 20 goal seasons and his last two were 30+.
Henrique is on a 2-year $6M deal - a 33 year old centre with 51 points last year gets more than that on the open market.
Arvidsson on a 2-year is a legit bounce back candidate, and $4M is not a bad number for him at all.
So it’s happened at least three times this off season alone.
It won’t be every player, but clearly there will always be quality veteran players who will take less after making their money to chase glory.
