Right. He didn't want to be part of a rebuild. His first choice was to stay and keep trying to win, and he only agreed to waive his NMC when the team made it clear that his first choice was no longer an option.

Tell you what, I'll suggest that it's not a curiosity at all that Kris Russell, a defenceman making $2.6 million at age 28 with no restrictive clauses in his contract, returned more at one trade deadline than Jarome Iginla, a winger making $7 million at age 35 with an NMC, fetched at a different trade deadline.
