4 x 4 really wouldn't help this team, it's not like they are trying to sustain a good team and build on it and are worried about the 2 years of elevated cap hit. I'd rather resign him long term now at 27 then waiting 2 years when he is 29, makes more sense to me.

Oh for sure, I agree that unintentionally it was probably better for the rebuild that Conroy walked him to UFA on a short deal.
