He was having a career year the year he was traded to the Rangers. Next season he gets traded twice, playing for 3 NHL teams an an AHL team. Now he's a healthy scratch in Switzerland. I mean many of us figured he wouldn't be the 50+ point player he showed flashes of....I don't think we figured his career was basically over within 1-2 years lol.
Ryan Spooner per Cap Friendly made over $11 M
no one has had better timing
I’m pretty confident he will not piss it away and should be able to live pretty awesomely the rest of his life- hopefully he does get it together and returns but if it’s over he still did financially well - not as good as he should have
with his skills he should be playing into his mid 30’s with that skillset
someone someday ought to do a story on the 3 roommates - Knight, Spooner, and Krug. Knight the highest drafted of the 3 is in medical school to be a doctor, Spooner career could all but be over but financially should be in a great spot due to timing of his peak performance, and the Undrafted Krug looks like will have a 15+ year career
yah never know do you
