I guess Lebron isn't the only one who doesn't want to play in Ohio.

Once Jeff Carter find out that Ohio is filled with tons of cute college girls he'll show up.
Or he is gone right now busy watching hours of Rick Nash videos on Youtube.
Seriously though I'm pretty sure he wouldn't mind the 60 million dollars, and he's a professional I'm sure he will show up. I mean if he loves Philly so much he can live there when he is super old.

VANCOUVER — He said he was willing to take less money in order to stay with a winner, and now Kevin Bieksa has reportedly delivered on his word.
TSN is reporting that the 30-year-old defenceman, who starred for the Vancouver Canucks in their run to the Stanley Cup final, has agreed to a new contract with the NHL team. Bieksa is due to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1. Instead, he has reportedly chosen to re-sign with the team that selected him in the fifth round of the 2001 Entry Draft.
The deal is reported to be for five years and $23 million. Under that scenario, he would earn $4.6 million per season. The deal contains a no-trade clause.
Bieksa had six goals and 16 assists in the regular season and was a plus-32, then followed that up with five goals and five assists in a shutdown role with partner Dan Hamhuis as the Canucks went to the seventh and deciding game of the Stanley Cup final. He scored the series-clinching goal in double overtime as the Canucks ousted the San Jose Sharks in the Western Conference final.
He was drafted 151st overall in 2001 and has been with the big club since on a full-time basis since the 2006-07 season.

YES he is signed, Hopefully Ehroff gets something similar, then we can afford to trade Ballard, otherwise if the Hoff leaves Ballard-Tanev will be the 3rd pairing.
