I wish him well but I sadly feel like this is probably his last NHL contract before heading back to Sweden.

Call me skeptical because you'd have to be insane to offer him any kind of term when he could up and leave at any moment and the team is still on the hook.

Anyone hefe would take a 4 year deal over a 1 year deal. Obviously he got bad advice and this is what was left for him.

I dont if its 'clear' but that does seem the likeliest explanation.
