i think ducks will give him a chance on the 2nd line, if he plays well he sticks and gets a better raise next season. if he doesn't then his deal is cheap enough that he can easily be traded. he could put up zero points and he will still be tradeable at the deadline, still too young to give up on him.

this is basically the real 3rd year of it's entry draft deal. The first really was written off because he played a couple of games in the playoff. I'm sure that's how Anaheim see's it.
Classic "show me" deal IMO. Injuries have hurt this guy (that's a pun, I guess) and have slowed him from becoming a top line scorer. He has the touch, but in the NHL you need the strength and speed to get open and get your shot off. He has taken a bit of a beating. Totally has the top 6 potential, but the NHL isn't the SEL. It's hard to stick in the top 6. To me this means show us in the first 41 games that you belong, or we'll ship you out for a draft pick or another asset at another position by the deadline or certainly, after 82 games in the summer. That is, if he plays them all. If he misses a huge chunk of time, I could see him gone this summer easy.

Agree with this, but while the SEL isn't the NHL, it's widely regarded as neck and neck with the KHL as the best league outside North America (although the Swiss league is getting there). And being named MVP of the SEL at the age of 21, and putting up the points he did that year (13 goals and 20 points in 16 playoff games on top of a stellar reg season), is quite extraordinary. I think he bounces back and earns a big contract, with Anaheim benefitting from the motivation this contract provides.

The special thing about him that year in the SEL was that he oozed confidence every second he was on the ice. You could see in his body language that he wanted the puck on his stick, to be a difference maker. In the NHL I haven't seen that yet. He's deferring to other players most of the time and he doesn't go for it like he used to. He needs to regain his confidence, get cocky again.
GO WINGS!
The more I look at it I think that the Ducks are just being cautious. If you look at their contracts on capgeek you'll see that they'll have a ton of expiring contracts (and lots of money to spend) next year. In particular they need to address their D so I think part of the reason behind this deal is like agentzero says is a "show me" deal. They know they're going to have to make some big decisions next offseason so they want to know what they have to work with before signing any longer deals.

Interesting deal, especially that's it's just one year. He'll need to get it done. Maroon has passed him on the depth chart for sure, Palmieri as well most likely. If he can't beat out Etem and healthy for a spot in the top 6...hopefully he goes somewhere like Vancouver that needs some talent.
