If they believe he's going to pop (not saying they do), then you go term and pay a bit more and expect to be rewarded.
I think the Flames did this with Hanifin and Linholm and it's off to a good start.
Monahan and Gaudreau look like bargains, but that was a market correction and good fortune.
If they don't, then play hard ball and keep him on show me contracts.
