who cares what he wants, he's going to make over 11M in the next 3 years, do you know how long it would take the average worker to make that much money? He sucks and is even too slow for the AHL, at his salary and the fact that he likely wouldn't be more then a 7th D, I just can't see any team taking him on unless we retain 50% and throw in say picks or prospects to sweeten the deal which would be stupid on our part.
The best thing would be for him to retire, he doesn't have it any more, it's unlikely he's going to be able to ever be quick enough for today's NHL. So if he gets fed up with riding buses this season, the Habs could do him a solid and give him his 1.5M bonus next summer and then assuming no takers he could retire leaving 5M on the table but I'm sure if he wanted he could land a job as an assistant coach at some level.
