While this won't be the most viewed thread, it deserves some mention.

Kovalchuk retired today, giving up 77M dollars. I don't know if I could do that honestly. Even if I wasn't happy with my job, I don't think I could turn down 77 million dollars. He'd be able to retire at 40 or 41 (or even if he retired after 2019 he'd only be giving up 14 Million) I highly doubt he'll make even over the rest of his career the 63 million he's set to make over the next 6 seasons.
