Yeah, that's why I said to the front door, not out of front door. Conroy alluded to it previously, they don't want a four year deal, it gets players too close to that UFA status, and they start thinking, scheming, gets harder to lock them up.
Fine with a bridge deal, but make it two or three years. Four get him too close to UFA status for comfort.
