People havent learned, you pay for potential not past performance.

He's only 27. As a non-scorer, he will likely continue to see improvements in point production over the next 3 years and then is likely to have potentially his highest output seasons in the final 2 or 3 years of his deal, ages 31-34.
If it was Ovechkin, I'd be right on board with you, but Getzlaf has a lot more going on in his game that will keep him amongst the top producers in the league.
