I'd like to know why people are so sure of this? He has given no hints or soundbites that this is true. His salary drop next year is significant, but of he can pull himself out of his current funk and return to his true form, why wouldn't he play the last year of his deal (still over a million) and sign another 1-2 year deal worth 3-3.5 million. Goalies are playing effectively well into their mid-late 30's. despite going back to Finland every summer, he has given no indication that he wants out of North America ASAP.
