In this video, we go over players who rejected contracts to bet on themselves, and ended up losing a bunch of money as a result. Let me know of any other players I didn’t mention and thanks for watching!

i actually liked cody franson
Good video, but far too many goals shown against the Oilers 🙁
Professional athletes are so funny. They spend their entire lives working to get to the NHL, to do what the love, play hockey for a living. Then all of the sudden, they get greedy, want money, and it turns into them not being able to play the game they grew up loving.
I didn't know Klingberg was offered that much for that long. It's a pretty stupid decision to walk when you think about how good Dallas is and that it's a flat cap at the time he walked. On top of that, you're only going to get 7 years out of any team, so the amount earned in the end would be the same as an 8 year deal.
AKA John Klingberg the Musical
John klingberg would probably still have some good market value if analytics didn’t exist.
Nhl 18 legend Jared Cowen
The way I see it is these players were payed what they deserved to be. Still millionaires but not overpaid salary cap liabilities. Maybe Bodker deserved more idk
How about Derek Roy…..offered a nice extension by the Sabres then turned it down and was out of the league three years later. lol
Always sign the long term deal….Marner take note…
Very interesting video! The simple fact of greed backfired. They overestimated greatly there own worth and tallent that matches it!
Sounds is terrible cant hear anything
Great video!
They should all blame their agents for being greedy.
As all of us watching this videos will NEVER be paid this much to play hockey, I can't say I am sad for these players. I am more like Nelson from the Simpsons "Ha-Hau".
Wings guy out here, we’re looking at you Zadina 👀
Some agents are obviously dipshits 🤷🏼♂️
In the last 2 years, the caution of GM's is finally coming around, lock guys up when they are 23-26, not 29-32. Get the prime years, reduce the % chance of injuries due to mileage, don't let them get away (especially D) oh, and, don't sell yourself too high, the market is the market, it determines your value, not you, not your agent.
Hey, just stumbled by randomly. Great video overall. Personally, I felt the background music was just a little too loud and at times it felt difficult to hear you through it fully. Other than that, I think you have a very good "youtube voice" and speak at a perfect pace for this kind of video. Keep up the great work and I am sure you will flourish.
Rumour was Bertuzzi was offered 5.5 X 4 by the Wings in in January 2023, Turned it down, hoping to get more $$$ and term in summer of 2023, Despite having a good run with the Bruins where he was traded at TDL, he signed a 5,5m for just one year. Yeah, he might make up that difference but I believe he is 28 years of age and his been injury prone. We'll see how that turns out.
What about gaborik had a huge deal to stay in minny turned it down then in free agency only really got a 5 year deal from ranger's not even close what minny offered Google it!!!! It's CRAZY how much moola he turned down wayyy more then klingberg!!!!
And what’s the lesson here kids. Don’t listen to your agent.
Turning down a 56M deal in the hopes to get maybe a 64M deal in UFA… yikes
At this point it's hard to point what's the most stupid between Klingberg's former agent (is that fool still representing anyone ? ^^) and Brad Treliving letting go of all the Leafs decent defensive assets on the RFA/UFA market only to replace them with all-for-offense-can't-defend-shit-anymore Klingberg and a couple guys like Max Domi who's got this bloated reputation of being tough but hardly ever lays a solid useful hit on anyone.
Oh they'll most likely still make it to the playoffs alright, but if they think for a minute they'll have it as easy as last year to get there we're in for a good laugh.
If klingberg plays on leafs powerplay and performs well, this could get real crazy, real fast….
Of course there's the bigger chance he will play like holl
Hopefully keefe uses him correctly
Dude, you gotta ditch that music 🤢
