I mean, honestly, the parallels couldn't be more striking.

Zdeno Chara was 33 when Hamilton was 18. Chara signed a big money deal for term.

Mark Giordano will be 33 when his extension kicks in. Sam Bennett will be 19.
If it lead to a Stanley Cup, I am sure the fan base wouldn't care one bit if we had to start all over 6-7 years from now. Nobody cheers to make the semi's every year. If going for it now, means a few lean years later, who gives a poop?
