I know he was great this season, albeit in limited action, but how did he exercise such leverage? He was a pending RFA and I don't think he had arbitration rights(?).How'd he get the extra year? If Jarmo is that confident, why not lock him up long term? I really don't see the logic here and I consider Jarmo one of the top GM's in the game.
Binnington was about the same age and was simply incredible last season. He got a similar contract. I don't see a whole lot of upside w/ this Elvis deal. If he doesn't grab the #1 job and run with it, it'll be a massive screw-up. I don't love the risk/reward here.
