The alternative is letting him walk.
He would have easily gotten that as a UFA, and teams would have gladly played it, even if the had to plug their noses at the end.

Look at the teams that have been winning cups. They all have contracts that won't play out well, but by then they are likely rebuilding anyway. But flags fly forever.
