I want a guy looking to show he's a playoff performer so that 7 weeks later he can make an extra couple million per.
I want James Neal in the last year of his contract, not the first.
Preoccupation with term is dumb and I hope it's not a major obstacle for the flames.

“Term” is also a euphemism for someone whose AAV is low, relatively speaking, for the current cap.
That’s great if you can get it but it also costs more (a la Hamonic).
I hope finding contract bargains isn’t the priority.
