When the best player in the world takes an $7.5m discount to try and win a championship...that's more than the individual salaries for 18 players on the oilers roster. If you're on that team, the expectation is that you're doing everything you can do to win that championship. If you're not on that team and are a UFA who wants a cup...you're also taking a discount to go there
