On a human level, though, I'm happy for him if he is indeed finally recovering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting if that (above) happens given his "I don't want to be a burden" statement ... suspect that is limited to being on LTIR and not his AAV on the cap ...it would be exceptional for a pro athlete to walk away from the $31.25 in real moneyPrice his owed over these next four seasons, but the burden reference was unfortunate as he will be a "cap burden" on LTIR or playing at the level he did when in nets the last two seasons ... playing like CAREY PRICE or retirement (99.999999999% certain that won't happen) is the only way he isn't a burden.
