Maybe some guys prefer to spend the summer on vacation instead of on contract negotiations.

You underestimate just HOW horrible in his own end he is.  You simply don't win with a defenseman who's that much of a liability every time he sets foot on the ice.  He's finding out the hard way there's no room for him on a legitimate NHL D corps.  He was lucky Babcock didn't hold him accountable and stick him in the press box where he belonged.

I wouldn't take this useless piece of garbage on a 2-way, league minimum contract.  Other GMs were able to see just how he gifted Boston 2 separate series due to his horrid play in his own end.
