I don't know. He could be setting up for "it wasn't JUST the money".
If he signs here there will be a lot of accusations of just going for
the money. But I think they will be unfair. I think he really is
just a guy trying to see if he has the juice for one or two more
seasons. Then he will look at all aspects of each of the three
possibilities and decide. And on that front I think the Canucks are
still a very viable possibility. I think he is an excellent fit and
more importantly the best option we have/had.
