I wonder if one year would be enough for him to develop in the organization.

Develop? No.
Get an idea if he has potential for the future (and therefore to re-sign him)? Yes.

It'll cost more, though.

Barely. He’ll be a one year minor leaguer. He’ll just get his qualifying offer.

Hope he doesn't ask for at least a mil and a half.

The only way that could happen is if he absolutely blows away the AHL level for > a 3rd of the season, and then there’s an injury in Pittsburgh and he gets called up and plays at a Calder trophy type pace. Then sure, he could command 1.5 per on a 2 year, 1-way deal and all Pens fans would consider that a fantastic problem to have. The chance of that happening, however, is less than 1%. So either way, I’m not worried about it.

Ah, well. I guess, no-go, then.

Lmao he wouldn't sign with anyone if he asked for that.

He'd have to have a terrific year to just get a 1-way deal at league minimum, let alone get over $1 million.
