It really isn’t, it’s how offersheets work they don’t intend to pay him $6mil after this year, they added multiple one year deals as this is a sort of cap transition year as they know some guys will need contracts soon, they have the D depth to let Hamilton walk and they have a year before they need to give those raises.Ya it’s not uncommon for teams to miss on their draft picks but for Carolina to pay a sub par player 6 mil is terrible money management during a flat cap.
if KK at least regains his defense numbers and puts up 3rd line numbers, they’ll try to add him to the appropriate money and term, and they’ll more or less have achieved what they were aiming for, that or a decent two way second liner.
the age difference from KK to Dvorak is pretty significant in development years. KKs development didn’t work out in Montreal, the Canes are willing to take a risk because they’ve got the prospect depth to do it. A change of scenery, system etc can make a difference
hell Andre Burakovsky was closer to Dvorak’s age than KKs when he was traded off the Caps and went from a regular 30 pt player to a legit top 6 threat on a great team
