All of this is an extension of Treliving not wanting to overpay for bottom of the lineup talent.
Remember Lance Bouma? Treliving does, and he didn't want to do that again.
That being said, when you recognize a guy is truly valuable, the prudent thing to do is give him a decent term on a low AAV deal. I agree that a player who gets 18 points in a 56 game season is worth at least 1.5 million, nevermind getting 3 points in 3 playoff games.
