If you're going to give Oettinger and Robertson those contracts, might as well give them more money and the full 8-year deal. A 5 & 6 year contract don't do anything for Dallas except allow those guys to his UFA sooner. Either give them contracts that take them to their last year of RFA eligibility or give them full 8's, but don't give them something in the middle. It screws Dallas in the long run.
Also, I'd be shocked if Olofsson started in Dallas next year. He's had a fine year in Sweden, but AT MINIMUM he's going to need time in the AHL to get reacclimated with North American ice. I'm honestly not so sure he turns into anything more than an AHL player either. Would much rather see that roster spot go to someone like Wyatt Johnston, Mavrik Bourque, or Logan Stankoven.
