If you where a top hockeyplayer?

Paul Kariya did that in 2004 when he signed with the Avs for 1.2 mil. He did that so the Avs could stay within their pay range for salary and sign his buddy Selanne as well. Unfortunately, the coach, Tony Granato, has no talent behind the bench, and ruined possibly the greatest team on paper by implementing a dump and chase style.
