Yea - if he is under contract, you would hope you could re up him before his contract expires... I get the fact that you could put everyone on a one year contract with that but there has to be a way to keep a star player especially if you have him on a 3+ year original contract.
maybe we can put a rule in saying that if the original contract is 3+ years, you have the option of re uping once - if you only offer him 2 or less at any point the original way stands and he hits FA...
I just think there needs to be something in place for the players you spent the most on... letting them walk or test FA when you paid him handsomely seems dumb...
I think its dumb if i put my drafted rookie on a 3 year contract, and him breaking out in year 3 puts me at a disadvantage when I was the one that waited for his development...
