Cheaper and longer than I thought he would get. Was expecting 1yr @ 1m so this is a nice surprise! Should help cap wise too

Usually after the ELC, a less impactful player will make well below it. Case in point, Gambrell, who was making $925K per during his ELC, but signed a two-year, 1.4 mil (700K cap hit) contract after his ELC expired. Kellman was in the same boat.

The cap hit is lower than his qualifying offer ($875K) but Kellman gets an extra year of security.

nice depth piece and re-signing. Kellman will help defensively and has the potential to up his offensive contribution.

I’m esp curious to see how he does with more PK time, if Melker walks away
