Cammalleri did the same thing.

Can't fault them for having different priorities in the latter stages of their careers. Look at Doan for the same thing.
Cammy yes, but Iggy I don't think so.

I think he chose Colorado because he thought they had a legitimate chance to win. If he wanted max dollar and max term he would've went with the Islanders who offered him 4 years vs the 3 with Colorado.
