This contract is definitely a comparable, and suggests Brodie is in line for at least 5 x 5 (which is no real surprise)
Had the previous GM not blundered it away, the franchise probably could have locked Brodie up for 5 years at much less an AAV that would be highly beneficial in 2-3 years. I remember it being reported at the time that his camp was heavily pursuing a long term deal.

Probably doesn't sound significant, but once players like baertschi, gaudreau, monohan, bennett, wotherspoon and co start rolling off entry level deals, cap space is going to evaporate.
