Furthermore, thats all well and good. He took care of himself.

These were all fairly evident circumstances, but he took the money and went anyways.
And finally, I never said he shouldnt have taken care of himself. You cant just 'look out for #1 and damn the consequences' and then complain about the consequences.

When Ference signed for his home town team, he probably saw some a team with some holes, but with some good young players. He had the idea that he could help the team learn what it meant to be a professional on and off the ice.
What he discovered was the good young players had no interest in being professional and there was no accountability for their on and off ice behaviour. It was a total loser situation and there was no way out.
