Interesting gamble on the kids part as well, or is it?. Sure he's guaranteed to make 2.1 mil over the next 4 years. Nice dough for the rest of the world. However it can be argued that he's in essence stating that he doesn't believe he can progress beyond a marginal NHL-er who makes the league minimum for 4 seasons? 2) If he believed he has the talent to be a decent NHL player a shorter deal that would allow for him to be compensated for that improvement would seem to be more in order, right? The Isles gamble is smaller. If it doesn't work out, they can buy out the kids contract for 33 cents on the dollars remaining. 1) Great bargain if Nielson becomes at least a 3rd line forward.
