Deal is reportedly for 2 years and $3.7.

Numbers are never the whole story, and Miller's are better besides, but I'm wondering whether this bears at all on Darcy's and Liut's talks. I.e., if Lehtonen gets an average of $1.85, then Miller gets ... .

I'd be surprised if it affects Darcy's or Ryan's position any because Lehtonen will still be an RFA when his deal is done and the only way Ryan is an RFA after his next deal is if he signs for only 1 year.

Was it for 2 years? I thought I heard this morning it was only for 1 year

 

*edit - I just read the article and they said the atlanta news paper reports its 2 years (although that still may not be completetly accurate but probably is)
