why all the two year contracts?

[RedMage138]

Players want the ability to get more money if they do well and the front office wants cap maneuverability?

[chucktownpanther]

yeah but arent they setting themselves up for this again in two years?

[RedMage138]

Not really, they're setting themselves up to sign someone new if these guys don't perform or lock these guys up again later.

I have no problem with 2 year deals. Especially with guys that are kinda iffy during the season and then turn it on during the playoffs. It gives them incentive to keep playing their hardest and allows the Canes to reevaluate if necessary...

LaRose was kinda of a suprise this year. Big increases in his numbers over his last two with the team. I'd imagine they want to make sure he continues that level of production before spending big on him.

Just a guess there.

We did the same thing after the cup year. Canes dont wont to lock up tons of money for the future. Staal, Ward, Gleason and Rutuu are now the core of this team and they need to do all that they can to lock these guys up long term like they did for Staal.

Exactly. 2 years is the safest contract for both the player and the team. For the team is offers them the ability to not have to trade the player if he isnt meeting expectations, which they would have to do if they signed him to a longer deal. And for the player it gives him a little more security than a one year deal, but if the team heads south, the player has the ability to get out and sign with another team.

Well I am glad we got that taken care of and got everyone signed and back. So now what are we going to do to make our team better than last year?
