Expensive for the term, but I'm not going to quibble over a few hundred K. The benefit is that the shorter term means a lower absolute number. Things are going to be wild in 3 years because there are going to be a bunch of big names coming due league wide. Two and three years ago, everyone was doing 5 and 6 year deals. Now a bunch of 3 year deals. Over the course of a couple of years, in a few years, the entire league is going to be turned upside down. It will be interesting to watch.
As for the team, glad it's over, and they don't need to move anyone. This buys Treliving flexibility with respect to Brodie, Hamonic and Frolik. They obviously can't re-sign all 3, but now they can make decisions without a gun to their head.
