Conroy just said he's going to start signing some players players to 2-3 years deals. If you're signing a home grown player to long-term contract, somebody that's been within your organization for a while at least you know what you're getting.
Signing players outside the organization to Big deals unless you know for sure what you're getting it's a risk. Treliving just lost, two good players so I could see his incentive for fixing the hole left behind.
With Treliving it was one bad contract after another, Kardi was a concern initially but he has turned it around Weegar has been excellent. Conway on the other hand just signed a 5 year extension to Yegor Sharangovich, who had to prove himself.
Definitely teams are still going to sign long-term contracts; I disagree, I think we are still going to see a trend towards signing certain players to short-term contracts. I think if you're going to take the risk then you've got to be sure you've got the right player.
