Let's be real though, he's not putting out what he needs to in order to justify a top-nine spot. Luckily the AAV is that of a 3rd/4th line tweener which is fine and I'm happy with the term because it's flexible in its value. But his play since Thanksgiving didn't really justify an extension right now.
Agreed.
I’m not going to get worked up about the contract because it’s inconsequential in the grand scheme of things and he’s a good player but I think we should have waited.

Easier to package a signed player in a TDL trade

Perfect contract for what he's shown. Not sure what everyone expects a 4th line guy to make but having a known commodity at 1.5m vs calling up a worse AHL guy at 750k seems fine with me.
I know it's easy to confuse the two, but you should be working on signing the other gloriously-coiffed Swede, Dougie.
He can't.
