- Questionable work ethic
- Nutcase in the room
- Unreliable on-ice performance
- 1 year deal that cost a good defender

And then, even if you wanted to keep him, what can Edmonton give him? The guy just got a dumptruck full of cash, so presumably his goal now would be to win. Edmonton likely cant even overpay to keep him.
I can't see him getting $3.5M/year again. That's just too high for a back up
