I wonder how much more it would have cost to sign him for the 2 UFA years? I know I probably would have preferred signing him to 5 years instead, but otherwise a pretty good contract that should age well.
Treliving's weaknesses (aside form the Tkachuk bridge) are usually around UFA signings and trading draft capital for players that don't really do anything long-term. This re-signing is pretty good value IMO.
