Large second contracts are only a problem if the player in question hasn't earned them or can't play up to that level.
Example for the positive: Pat Kane, Jonathan Toews.
Examples for the negative: Tyler Myers, Taylor Hall.
Seeing as how Calgary doesn't have much in the way right now in terms of RFA or UFA contract pressure, I don't see a problem with it either.
