That is correct. If a player wants to just sign until his UFA year, make him go year to year so he takes some risk. The only reason to go more than one year is to either eat up UFA years, or getting cost certainty of a deal you quite like.
If a player wants the security of a longer deal, it has to include some UFA years.
