He actually did a huge favor to the Devils since had he retired a year or so later, the cap penalty would have been almost tripled its current value. Guess the previous lockout ended up souring whatever desire he had left to play in the NHL and decided playing in the KHL was a lot better than the money he dropped.

Yeah the timing was actually pretty terrible for the Devils. He totally hamstrung them this offseason.
