That would no longer be at this point though. He would have solidified some of the expectation.
There is absolutely no immediate need to give him 5 million for any length of contract. The risks outweigh the potential for it to be higher later. He is a small player that is vulnerable to drop off after a few minor injuries build up.
Could you point to all these small players who've dropped off after a few minor injuries added up in the modern NHL? Because I'm struggling to think of them.
And if you're right, I'm struggling to see how the risk is any significantly less after 3 years as a pro than it is after 2.
