I'm guessing nobody here would turn down the extra 10M+ that he is going to make over the next few years. He's only got a few years left in his career to make cash, I wish him the best. He chose the best team with a decent contract, this notion that he is picking money over a cup is crap.
The other team he was considering was Vancouver. How are they trending?

You are right in the fact that there is nothing wrong with taking the money, its within his rights as a UFA. I probably would have taken the cash.
