If you thought you could get $2M more than you're worth why wouldn't you try?

I don't fault him for trying, what I fault him for is the way he's going about it. Especially over the past few years of making statements about how he owes the Pittsburgh organization and would play for the league minimum, then signing with Philly because they offered more... then telling media and Philly fans that he would like to stay in Philly and then signing with Dallas for yet more money.
Point is, if he's after the money that's fine. But he's trying to carry himself as the humble aging superstar that isn't after the mega contract and just wants to play, yet his actions have contradicted that image he's been portraying.
Now he's threatening to go to the KHL because no one is offering him that last big deal he's obviously trying to get. I say good riddence.
