But why would he take $6M over 4 years when he could get it in 2-3 instead?

Last off-season was interesting in that he was the last UFA D-man to sign for over a million (Sep. 10; technically Chara was later but IIRC it was rumoured done but not announced).

It was probably a stressful free-agency period where he found himself without a chair when the music stopped. Ryan Murray 1x2M on Aug 2 being the only other guy to not get done on Jul 28 or 29. So I imagine he won't hesitate to take a reasonable offer if it's on the table, though CGY may have bigger issues to deal with on Jul-1.

Does anything about his play this year suggest he'll warrant a reduction in his AAV (unless it's with my crazy idea)?
