Not at all surprising. Chris was set on signing for the Blues if they would find a way to take him. If not, he would've signed for the team closest to Missouri who would take him.
He's putting life above money (assuming someone else would've signed him for more/one-way) and as a bonus has a chance to win. He's a great, well-liked guy but mediocre hockey player.
