No NmC clause is massive. If it doesn't work out for either party down the road, a lot less hassle to move on. For a guy his age it's a massive concession.
Guy can pot goals, play with an edge, exactly what the top line needs.
And on a day when everyone over pays, Treliving approach to properly approach UFAs and get guys like Smith to help out, means a lot in the process for layers to feel wanted.
Treliving really gets things done.
I do suspect some jettison moves, but I don't suspect anyone except Minny and JG should be feeling comfortable that their role and position in the line up is going to be the same as last year. Both with the added talent up front and the coach who uses players all over.
That's an opportunity for guys like Janko and Bennett. Depending on their mindset it could mean trouble for Backlund and Frolik.
