Then, once his contract expires, he gets paid out $35mil a year for the following 20 years until he is 58. It's technically a 30 year contract!

And the State of California moved to close that tax avoidance loophole so fast that I'm not sure how many other highly deferred contracts you'll see in pro sports.

I hope since he doesnt actually have to think for himself that he had to take a cut in pay.

I hope that if he isn’t thinking for himself, I hope he can still ruin the Leafs like he ruined the Flames
