That's the part that I wonder about more than anything else. Could have done this in December and then perhaps if he looks like he's on track to improve it looks good. Right now it's just a box with a bunch of question marks on it. Good? Bad?
That's a chunk of change to commit to a question where the best answer is "maybe".

Yup. Like Mony said, Chiarelli has been GM for zero games and one practice. Boom! Seven year deal for a kid with 77 games played.
Sure, Chiarelli would have had some knowledge of him, obviously. But you don't
really get to know players until they're on your team.
Waiting a couple of months would have cost them what? (answer: nothing)
