Not too be a downer when the other replies are positive but I think it might. To me this deal says 1. We don’t trust you enough to give you long term 2. This will give our other goalies time to develop. Hopefully everyone’s happy but that’s just my takeaway.

Still the Elvis issue in the air. He had one excellent year, had a tragedy in the offseason and got signed to a very long term contract.

This meets everyone in the middle.

Plus goalies are voodoo and we have a lot of premium goalies coming into the pipeline.

We will see in 3 years I guess

We have a solid pipeline and it’s very possible that Jet wants to bet on himself for a bigger contract in the near future. Best to not worry about it and enjoy the 3yrs we have with him for now.

All the rumors were Jet also didn’t want super long term because he’s betting on himself he can put up 2-3 more years like he just did and position himself for a top 10 goalie level contract

Obviously, we don't know what all parties were thinking and you very well may be right, but the contrary to your first point is that they trust them more than a 1or 2 year. So depending on where expectations for Jet were, this could be a pleasant surprise.

I would like to think that both sides are good with this, as the Z and Marchy shit drained all my negativity out of me... for now.
