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.

Scotty Gomez would know a thing or two about listening to fans, that's for sure.
Unrelated, he did a cameo for my fantasy hockey league, The Gomez Cup, so named to memorialize him falling off a cliff after signing that contract. Life's funny.

Haha. That’s awesome!
Gomer talked about how everyday in the league was a Saturday right up until his year long goal scoring drought. Then everyday was a ‘Monday’.
The guy is an absolute gem. The best story teller I’ve ever listened too.
