Svoboda has very much been a team player his whole career. Taking minimum contracts, trying to be the best playmaker he can to set up his teammates, doing whatever his team needed of him.

This season, however, has been particularly tough on him, with the Panthers slogging through a rather tough season. That said, Svoboda has had enough, and has resolved to negotiate on tougher terms for his next contract.

He's going to milk as much money out of his team as possible, for as long of a term as possible. He'll have a clause which prevents his coach from benching him when he will inevitably stop passing the puck to his teammates. There will be a huge bonus for when he hits 50 goals, because goals will be all he'll care about. Lastly, he'll demand a clause where his teammates will be instructed to pass him the puck at every possible opportunity. This will be the new direction of his career.
