If he wanted to bet on himself he still would have signed for at least $3M for 1-2 years.

$1M for 1 year makes no sense under any circumstances. Every other GM in the league should have offered $4.2M for 1 year on an offer sheet.
I hear you. But he has no rights and a decent pile of younger players behind him that will happily fill that top 6 seat and potentially produce 50 if he doesn’t. Wilson can play hard ball. “We have $1mm. You want it or do you want to sit?” He had a good year but I don’t think he had much leverage.
