Ference's decision is logical, actually. He's an Edmonton native and he's won the Cup with Boston. This is probably his final contract, and I think the idea of coming home to resurrect his hometown team as his NHL finale likely appealed. The dump truck full of money undoubtedly helped too.
And all things being equal, he's earning his dump truck full of money. Sitting at -2 on that team should put you in Norris Trophy consideration.
