As I've already pointed out, since this system has gone into effect, no Type A player has been signed to less than a 2 year 16M deal. most initial offers on those borderline cats is for 2 years anyway(as it's a waste to give them just the 1 year.)
The only thing making us do 1 does it make the Team the player is leaving, think if it's worth a 16M deal, and we already deem it ok in the first place, it's just adding that extra year. I just feel as tho this is a rule to make a rule.
This is the first year since we started the new system that I think a Type A hasn't been signed. And thats more a product of the budget cut than people not really wanting his talent.
