I think this could be bad for them in three years.

Eichel and Reinhart will need new contracts then and if they live up to their draft billing will likely have passed O'Reilly on the depth chart by then.

Going to be hard to get those guys to take a discount when they are outperforming the guy making $7.5 million.

Don't think his fellow NHLPA members and teammates are going to be a huge fan when they are looking at their Escrow reduced payments and he is laughing at his contract.
