| Signed a contract with the Philadelphia Blazers of the World Hockey Association. Received $600,000 in cash as part of a $2.65-million, five-year deal (some source say that he got a 10-year deal for $2.6M). Regardless, after only 8 games in which he got injured and played poorly, a new owner came in and bought back his contract for $1M. He then went back to Boston in the NHL. Revenue = $1.613k: $600k cash bonus + $1M buyback + $13,000 NHL salary. | |||||
