It doesn't necc. have to be a firm 3rd year either it could be a team or mutual but not player option. I would offer the team, then mutual options before I'd agree to a firm 3rd year however, hoping he'd bite before we ever got to a firm 3rd year.
I thought Rheal was the same age as Ohman is now when we got him? Oh well, either way I'd be more on board for three years for a good reliever if that third year was an option year of some sort so I agree with you there.
