Huge difference for an older player in the twilight of his career wanting to make a little extra money. He's not a mercenary. He just wants to pass on is knowledge. The contenders likely don't want to/can't pay him as they cannot afford him.
Does Foligno have a bad attitude?
Extending Backlund when his contract is up would fall into this category.
