Paying for potential and hoping it works out.
It may in this case, but good luck running a franchise that way.
This contract is a little easier to swallow because it is not a huge jump for ex. to 4.5 million but starts at 3 million and goes up every 500k or similar. All this (as I was told by Getbak) starts 2016-2017. As discussed, the salary increase is not substantial making the risk manageable in the event Klefbom is a dud. I mean from his interviews, he comes across as a well grounded, coachable and well-liked young man with size and skill. I can live with this strategy of signing Klefbom long term hoping he becomes a bargain at his salary. GTG
