Yeah, and given his history of performing in the playoffs I think I'd rather lose him for nothing. Feaster probably would have given him away for peanuts and the rest of the league would be laughing at our expense for giving a player like that away for a 3rd round pick. At least this way we can save some face by saying we tried to keep him but his demands were too high.
Can't blame him for wanting to go to FA. He probably wants to sign that juicy retirement contract and have a shot to win. My bet is he signs with Anaheim for a contract that will make us glad he didn't sign here.
