Yes, it is a risk and it is not a sure thing that he will be a top pairing dman. I guess it is like a customer negotiating with an insurance company, both are trying to manage limited risk at a price they can swallow and a premium to charge. At the end of the day, the Oilers and Klefbom (plus agent) will have to come together and live with the deal each compromised on.
