Less than Zero

Literally insane to suggest would ever happen

I would go home to play for fun. These top players…they already got paid. Betman and his power trip is taken its course. It worked. In the past. But every thing that is good, changes. This strong arm course is now a crash course!!
Boy is Betman and his group messing things up!!!!

Minimum aggregate salary in the KHL is $6,500,000 (Wikipedia).

Right?

He’s been a liability for a while now.

Its that simple. This is just a negotiation ploy by the players to make it seem like the NHL might lose some star power if the players don’t get what they want. Its a smart play actually, but theres nothing to it.
