Tuch's deal was after 1 full season. Drouin's deal was after only 1 "GOOD" season. The other two deals were after a few seasons of the same type of seasons.
AND... why isn't Kapanen signing a long term deal? Because you declare he isn't?
There are a numerous other contracts that compare that were 2-4 year deals between 2.5M and 3.5M or similar cap percentage bridge deals. Ironically, Nino and Tatar are good examples of that brought up by someone else.
I believe he will be bridged because that's what the Leafs will want to do and there's zero indication that he won't agree to some sort of bridge contract. Are we saying no player will ever sign a bridge contract?
I personally have Kapanen right now as a 2 year 3M contract, give or take 500k.
