I just see this as sour grapes on his part. As some pointed out, he may have left money on the table but he got term and a NTC. I also think that he played above his contract....but not nearly as much as some think.

If he would have been making more, there would have also been a chance that he was traded to a team struggling to make the cap floor or if his contract was that bad, he could have been bought out.

Him saying he regrets taking a discount is the equivalent of the Flames saying they wish they hadn't given him a NTC and traded him sooner.

Either way, I think his best bet for the future is to work as hard as he once did and earn a contract based on what he is doing and can do, not focus on what he once did.
