This is a jumping the gun kind of contract that other GM's hate to see occur for a guy that hasn't really accomplished anything significant at the NHL level. Is Josi a nice D man that still has plenty of maturing to do yes is he worth this kind of money and for almost the NHL max for time no. NSH did this because of what happened with Suter once he became a UFA. I think this is a reckless contract to the rest of the teams dealing with players that are similar.
