I tend to agree. If the team was contending right now, I doubt he would have wanted to part ways. Given the shape of the team and that there still might be some sympathy towards him from the hockey world for losing his 2 top players (even though that is partially on him), he knows that his stock is only going to go down if he stayed. If the team was only offering him a short extension, it makes sense from a career perspective that he leaves now as things are trending down here.
