Yeah. I think some teams don’t think as long term as others. Buffalo has tons of cap space right now but in three years… dahlin will need a new contract, mittelstadt will need a new contract, jokiharju will need a new contract, Cozens will need a new contract… just to name a few. If Owen Power joins the team next year, he will need a new contract the following year. And then there’s the possibility that Buffalo gets one of the superstars in the next two drafts… those guys will be due huge contracts that following year.
Buffalo could have done themselves a huge favour by trying to lock up Dahlin for a longer contract now. But I guess it’s a good deal for the next 3 years and it’s likely Dahlin’s camp did not want anything longer than that.
