I assume he is going to receive a Gawdin- or Froese-like contract. Two years, with guaranteed money ~$1M total. He won't be NHL rich, but he will still be rich

Salary comparable to, or better than, the Swiss National League and arguably a better NHL escape route.
Now maybe he won't, but I'm sure the Wolves are prepared to throw crazy (AHL-level) money at him.
