But even still - I cant help but think its a lot of risk for Nashville to take on because of the term. In part because the contract is based on 1 good season. And in part because I dont think Arvidsson is actually that good. Meh...I guess we'll see.

Nah, Nashville has signed so many long term deals with lower cap hits that if one doesn't work out in a few years they've still saved more money than most teams by employing this strategy across so much of their young core.
If one guy busts in three years at $4mil a year, but you're saving $10mil a year in cap hits by this strategy, you call the strategy a success.
