With any luck, there will be enough data showing that huge, long-term deals are bad when our current crop of 19-24 year olds start hitting 27, 28, 29 and asking for that max-money contract won't be a feasible thing for UFAs of that age to do anymore.
Get Monahan, Gaudreau, and Bennett for 5.5-7.5 million for the next 8 years now, and then when they're in their late 20's hope the market realities have changed and, once again 5.5-7.5 million dollar contracts make sense.
