That whats bugging me when I listen to TSN or Sportsnet. He wasn't just some guy who pulled a rabbit out of his hat.

If both parties really wanted to get a long term deal done at the time they would have found a way to get it done. There is nothing wrong with a team pushing a bridge contract to see if a young player can repeat his most recent performance. There is risk either way you choose to go. It's just too bad that in this case it didn't work out long term.
