I think they get their living expenses paid, plus making a decent wage I am sure while not getting to hear on the radio or on social media how much you suck on a daily basis. I can see why he'd sign there.

Pro Athletes shouldn’t be listening to the sports radio shows or scrolling through the comment sections of Twitter. Just listened to an old episode of Spittin’Chiclers with Scott Gomez. He spoke openly how most hockey players avoid the trap, because it mind-bend you if you give it any attention.
Even if you’re playing unreal, those are toxic environments created only for havoc and clicks. I couldn’t imagine living under the constant scrutiny with unrealistic expectations everyday of my career.
Hope he does well over there and still avoids the sports news and social media. People are terrible.

I am not saying he listens to the post game show or sport talk radio like fans do but I think it's naive to think these guys don't hear at least some of it. They don't live in caves. Plus there are plenty of key board warriors who get off sending athletes hate. So I am sure he say plenty.

Well, a venerable old sportswriter basically told him he sucked in an interview earlier this year. Whether they subject themselves to fan opinions or not, there's no avoiding Edmonton sports media - who are worse than almost any fan and who'll call you pissy if you push back on them at all.
"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
