How good will his upcoming season have to be for anyone to look back on this next June and say, "Wow, Chiarelli really knew what he was doing when he got Klefblom locked up for 7 years at that price"?

For me, that's why this isn't a good deal. It might be a good deal in the long term, but it's also a deal that could likely be signed 8 months from now. Next summer, it's most likely that we'll look back on it and either say it's a fair deal for both sides or it's a bad deal for the Oilers. It's unlikely that we'll look back on it and say the Oilers got a bargain.
