Unless he legitimately believes that the future is brighter for the Jackets? And maybe it is - I'm not overly familiar with either roster TBH.

The latest reports had Jersey around $9M.
If they were at 10, he'd be a Devil right now.
He went with the only offer that was in that division (kind of close to home) and in the price range he wanted.
I have no doubt he expected $10M+ offers to be there from multiple teams and they didn't come. I think most of us expected that too.
