Yep, Don't think it'll end his career. Besides, he could always go to the KHL as a last resort, if necessary.
Then again, It's Ryan Malone. It's really up to him. I don't know the guy personally, but I'm pretty sure he still gets lots of heat for ditching pittsburgh for more money, despite being a home town guy right when Pittsburgh was getting good.
Tampa fans have been wanting to move his contract for years, and he was recently a healthy scratch for the past 3 games apparently.
