I think the conversation was probably more like this:
“Look Leon I really don’t want to re-sign here but I bet you’d get you way more money if we can convince management that I would never re-sign here if you didn’t first. Once they’ve overpaid you I’ll be able to get that much and then some from another team and you can just demand a trade to wherever I sign. The oilers might even have to retain some of your salary which would serve them right for wasting so many of our prime years.”
