Yeah he must. I also suspect he's really feeling the pressure to bring a Cup back to stinktown, he knows he's in Gretzky's footsteps there. I suspect after a decade there, he wants out, so a short deal while leaving as much cap room as possible to help complete that goal as fast as possible, works for him.
Wants to hurry up and win one so he can get outta there a la LeBron as a Cav 2.0.
