I completely expect that if he is to sign elsewhere, he will leave 5-7 Million dollars on the table and isn't simply going to the highest bidder.

Eric D wrote an article on the Athletic a year or so ago that basically said playing at home isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Being an NHL’er and being able to keep home at an arms length distance can be a good way of going about things.
I can’t imagine being the home town superstar is a spotlight many want to be in. Especially in Philadelphia and especially if the team is bad.
