And it makes sense.
He probably isn't ready to move on, including just after his bud Leon committed. But he doesn't want to tie himself there for the rest of the career. I think he signs for 3 years.
I think he knows that not winning a cup for the team that drafted him will significantly affect his legacy.

I don't see why he would stop short on what would surely be the most lucrative contract in NHL history by signing long term. As a business/financial decision it doesn't make a lot of sense.
