Option 2

Kristian Seppanen accepts the deal to sign on as a sponsor for the Fan Hockey Site TM equipment. While they're not paying a lot, being used as a tester to create better statistics for public consumption is sure to lead to Seppanen's name being plastered everywhere, which will help to ensure he signs bigger endorsement deals and can take a team friendly deal when his contract negotiations start back up. Furthermore, Seppanen is a firm believer in supporting the growth of hockey - and anything he can do to support more people watching, playing, and understanding the support, the more fulfilled he feels. Where it won't impact his performance, there's no real downsides, other than the potential lack of funding to the contract. Nevertheless, it's a risk he's willing to take.

The only restriction Seppanen is placing on the deal is a heart rate monitor...because Seppanen wants someone to be tracking how fast his heart beats when he scores the cup clinching goal at the end of the season.
