7x7 for a Bobby Ryan, Dion Phaneuf or 8x8 for a guy like Kessel, these are bad contracts. Because you'll never win with guys like that carrying the mail for you.
When Kopitar carries the mail, the Kings win Stanley Cups. He's worth his money.

Just because they won Stanley Cups in the past does not mean they will continue to do so in the future. The jury is still out whether or not this will help result in another cup. Truthfully, on its own, the Kopitar contract isn't the end of the world. However, when lined up against their 5-6 other terrible deals, it helps paints a cloudy picture. It won't look so good if it contributes to them losing Toffoli.
