To me the issue isn’t how low risk the contract is, it’s what ramifications that contract has on filling out the roster and getting the team over the hump the next two sessions. Like it or not, Aho, TT, Pesce, and Skjei are under contract for two more seasons. The teams prime window is the next two years. The way this management group has handled expiring contracts, it’s not a certainty that they’ll retain these guys.
If KK doesn’t become a much bigger contributor in the next two seasons and his contract limits us from acquiring enough talent to get to the cup, I see it as a wasted opportunity. It’s why I wasn’t a fan of the offer sheet in the first place.
If he does become a much bigger contributor in the next two seasons, then the Borg will look like a genius. Only time will tell.
