The veteran forward Adam Henrique lost a lot of money by signing with the Edmonton Oilers, and the official number has been revealed.
On July 1st, Adam Henrique decided to renew his association with the Edmonton Oilers following an impressive run to the Stanley Cup Finals against the Florida Panthers.
The Oilers had acquired him, alongside Sam Carrick, at the trade deadline in a massive three-team deal with the Anaheim Ducks and the Tampa Bay Lightning.
He signed a two-year, $3M AAV deal, and a new report revealed that he refused more money elsewhere to sign in Edmonton.
The Edmonton Journal's Kurt Leavins wrote that Henrique skipped an offer valued at $3.5M, $500k more than what he'll earn with the Oilers.
"A contact of mine in Winnipeg who has knowledge of the conversations says that Adam Henrique turned down a 2-year, $3.5m contract from the Winnipeg Jets at free agency this summer. Instead, he opted for the Oilers on a 2-year, $3m deal to stay in Edmonton. While $500k may not seem like a lot in an $88m cap world, that is about two thirds that of a minimum salaried player." Leavins said.
Henrique scored nine points, including six goals, in 22 regular-season games after joining the Oilers, and added four goals and three assists in the Oilers' playoff run to the Stanley Cup Finals.
