There's a limit as to how much he's worth, so why lock into a higher value for multiple years if you don't need to. I don't see how on a one year deal as a UFA how he'd top a number like 4.5. Players like Zadorov on an expiring contract are a lot easier to move at the Deadline if you need to than guys who have term left.
I'd argue that a term contract here would be worse.

The other thing is that this is a show me year for the whole team. If it goes badly again they may decide to burn it down and if so, he can be rented at the TDL for whatever return is possible, along with a bunch of other guys.
