I guess my question is why would he retire? San Jose, the team he played for all his career, offered a 2 year contract and Toronto offered a 3 year contract. He could have not uprooted his family and stayed in San Jose for the same deal that you want him to do now. Living closer to home and a 3rd year, were the reasons he signed in Toronto. Now fans want him to walk away from 4.25 million because he is a cap issue for the team. If this turns out badly for Maple Leafs, which if not handled properly, could turn a lot of future free agents away from signing in Toronto, for the way them themselves might get treated by fans and orginization
