A 3.75 million dollar one year contract. Turns out he ONLY earned 1 million dollars this past year. How does he keep a roof over his head?
He says it isn't about money (whatever), it's about being on the team that will win the next season's Stanley Cup.

I believe Teemu...its not the money per say...but all superstars have egos...in order to feel they are the best they want to be paid like the best...

I laughed at a headhunter today who gave me a low figure for a job he was picking to me...I said, no...I wouldn't do the job for the numbers he was throwing around...and it really wasn't about the money...it was about..you want someone really good, then offer me what you would a superstar...

Ok i believe him, yes he wants to be a duck, it's just when you throw numbers like that around, it sort of becomes...comical. And he disappeared from the radar for a while there, so I think he's capitalizing on his "new" superstar status.

He's making up for lost time... ...and if I could score like he does...I would want more money then a pitful $3.75 mil...In the words of Patrick Ewing..."15 Mil a year doesn't go as far as you think it does"...
