First game with VGK he had only 30 seconds less than Alex Pietrangelo and more shifts then any other defenseman.
I am kinda indifferent, he was coming to be a UFA I think it's fair to say he won't sign, If I was the player in that position why would you want to give any leverage you have on your decision making about your future to your team?
I understand maybe he should of just said "I'm open to see how things go and possibly sign an extension" and then go the UFA route but then he is garnering a pure rental price in that situation regardless. It makes sense to try and make the 4 teams that could get him out bid each other.
