Yeah, people are thinking of like the house, car and vacations they will travel with 85M. No doubt it would be amazing, but the difference isn't to be discredited.
There are luxury properties that are way nicer, like beyond the scale of what you thought your life could be on the beach fronts of Malibu that go for $60M. "I'll still have $25M left over" good luck maintaining that... mind you you need this money for retirement/rest of your life from age 40-90 too, assuming you won't be taking a day job after a 20 year hockey career.
Private jet charters are in the realm of the Option 1 player, as is yachting, and serious investing. You'd be at some pretty big boy tables with that amount of money, and private banking would take you seriously. Option 2? You'd just be a high net worth individual at your bank given perhaps access to a better set of mutual funds.
Likely your NW wouldn't be either 155M or 85M as it was cumulative over a career. If you factor in taxes and expenditures (being a top hockey player is likely expensive and tough and you'll probably be too busy to clean and cook), and maybe along with compounding interest I could see one really retiring with just 100M in option 1 and 50M in option 2. So there's that.
I honestly expected the results to be a tie on a hockey forum, and the slight imbalance is probably due to not fully recognizing the value and difference between 155M and 85M earnings.
That said, a Cup is forever and you can't buy your way into one. Someone said it best, the camaraderie and memories of being with your friends and teammates in that moment could last you a lifetime to cherish that might be worth more than what you achieve with that extra 70M in retirement.
