Those carry risk but can really keep the cap down long term. If Ferland is going to be seeing substansial time on the first line his ask will be way up in two years.
Poile is always pulling it off in Nashville. Ie Jarnkrok, Ellis, Josi.

I don't think either party would have been okay with that. From the team's point of view he's not consistent enough right now to warrant a five year commitment and from his point of view if he improves his play over the next two seasons he would be stuck making only $2 million in his prime. This is a good outcome for both parties.
