It would be pretty odd if an agent thought that this was a smart path to take given his recent history a reluctance for other teams to jump into an unknown situation.
This should have been a slam dunk 1-year deal for both parties as it minimizes risk and also gives the player a chance to stay in a familiar environment and try to get back to a decent level of play.
He wasn't good last year when he came back and really didn't look anything like the guy that was playing with Tanev the year before and I don't think it's unfair to assume that that one season was a blip and the player is basically a 5/6 at best. I'm rooting for him, but I just haven't seen enough either before the absence or after to think the opposite.
