It's hard to argue with this contract but I wish we could have gotten him long term, assuming Mangiapane was willing.

He will be a very good player very quickly and it would have been nice to lock him in at a low price before he starts getting recognition.

At the same time, our cap space made this impossible. An unfortunate reality of the Brouwer/Neal/Stone mistakes.
