Who knows if somebody like Subban would have played like he did last season if he didn't receive a bridge contract.

A contract like RNH's will take away the motivation for some players. Regardless of how hard he trains, how many points he scores, after his ELC, he'll be making $6M for the following 7 seasons. He has nothing to prove. Hell, he didn't prove much before the contract and he still made $6M per.
