How though? He and his agent told the team that no talks would occur during the season, I also don't remember at any point during the season him discussing it. I mean I guess you could wish he would have asked out last offseason but that would have leaked and diminished his value.
I mean if he did want out I think it was largely due to the intense criticism he faced for his playoff performances, by both media and fans. He may of wanted a less chaotic city when it came to hockey. Right or wrong, he has put in the necessary time to be able to make that decision for himself. I really wish management read between the lines.
