Awful contract, he looked good this year, like he finally figured out how to play with McDavid and Draisaitl (ie- get them the puck and go to the net!!). but one year of good stats, when you only played 25% of the other teams...is going to skew the numbers...there are going to be major corrections this season....so why lock him up for that much now? How does he outperform this deal? I would take Seth Jones over him any day. How much was he asking for before he got talked down to this?? yikes.
Shouldve been a max 5 or 6 year deal..and less than $7mil- closer to 6.5. This wont age well, even if he manages to put up good point totals the next 3 years....8 is a long time.
