This is rare. Most players want most of the money right away. He also doesn’t seem like the type of guy to do this.

I think he wants his money, and he’s going to get it.
I don't know about $120 but he will get paid and I agree, I can't see him deferring large amounts. And if he was going to do so, he could do that with any team.

Jarvis deferred $15.67 million by days. To get to even near a million in AAV savings, Draisatl would have to defer more than double that for years.

Just sharing the link so people can see that this isn't some huge issue that is going to open up huge chunks of cap space.
