8 is a long time to tie your wagon to the same horses these days, regardless who they are. I'd be disappointed in bridge deals, but what, from a Flames perspective makes you want 8 year deals? I've seen nothing (yet) in the NHL that leads me to believe that an 8 year cycle with the same core can win consistently. I guess maybe Chicago has a shot, time will tell.
