Yeah, you can't ask for more from a guy than what he gave to the org, and tried to do the right thing on the way out. Too many moving pieces during a season and he was giving up some leverage by trying to find a way to sign with a limited number of teams that had legit offers.
We got a fair, perhaps even better than fair, return. He'll get to explore UFA and go where he wants for the deal he wants.
It's rare that it's a win-win for the team and a departing player but this is about as close as it gets.
