It pays off more in the long run to stick with a team where you it's working for you, performance wise, than to go for the immediate big contract.
I'm sure Anson Carter woulda taken that 2mil with the Canucks looking back now.

lol I disagree, you only have so many years as a professional athlete, you get all the money you can asap. There is no guarantee sticking with the same team will = same results, personnel changes to the team/coaching happens every season and it wasn't like drury got that deal when he was a RFA hes not exactly young. That was definitely going to be the last big deal he got unless he turned out to be like a selanne.
