This was always the most likely outcome as I have maintained all along, it was going to take an overpayment for him to move. we should not ignore the message this also sends to the players still on this team who have been playing well and fighting like hell to still make the playoffs, the GM believes in you and wants to give you a shot at making the dance. The market will still be good come the offseason and there will be more teams with room available at that time.
