Yeah, I already said that. Really what I'm getting down to here is that he could have taken money, but he chose life. Perhaps if the Flames offered the big contract earlier, he may have bit. Instead, it played out into another grind, and that gave JG enough time to remember that being close(er) to home was a factor, thus nullifying the extra money. He's already worth tens of millions, with another 70 mil coming in. Who cares if it's 70 or 84 when he's an hour flight from Guy's next heart attack.
I think some fans really overthink the money.
