1M is in fact slightly high now but of course if he has steady improvement in his game it will be a bargain by year 3.
This was the obvious move to make. Sign Klein for less than half of what Hammer would cost, and move all the youngsters up a slot... the defensemen "ladder scheme" is the bedrock of poiles master budget plan...
In 3 years Klein will have either improved so much that we cant afford him, just like Hamhuis, or he will have been passed by those behind him, in which case he either goes away to seek his fortune elsewhere or is released or signed as the 7th dman for small dollars
