Sources reveal how much money Adam Henrique walked away from to stay with Edmonton
With the Edmonton Oilers running low on cap space and with a litany of needs going into the offseason, getting Adam Henrique re-signed was a big win for the Oilers. Especially since it's now known that he left money on the table to re-sign with Edmonton.
According to Kurt Leavins of the Edmonton Journal, Henrique declined an offer from the Winnipeg Jets of around $3.5 million per season for two years. This might only add up to around a saving of $1 million, but for a team as tight to the cap as Edmonton, that's significant.
"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 wrote
.A consistent player for the past 7 seasons for the Anaheim Ducks, the 34-year-old was moved to the Oilers at the trade deadline and put up a respectable 6 goals and 3 assists for 9 points in 22 regular season games, while also adding 4 goals and 3 assists in 17 games during a Stanley Cup final run.
