Why would he come to an agreement? You can’t force these things. If he’s on a contract for however much money for several years, he has a right to demand the payout regardless. Also, he might imagine he could get back to playing.Exactly. He's cooked. Not worth risking more damage either. I'm actually surprised both parties didn't come to an agreement to retire this offseason.
It’s a bummer, and probably hurts us, but the guy isn’t obliged to ditch a years salary because some supporters might like a better return. We were the gonks that offered him the contract. Why should he help us out?
