Thats why I'm not a fan of contract moving forward,specifically in expected decline in value over the term.
I will be happy to be wrong.

That was the bridge/ELC effect though - Johansson, Burakovsky, Kuznetsov will all be getting paid much more than that in the next year.
We need Tkachuk, Bennett, and 1/2 of our other young forward prospects to do the same for us in the next 3 to 4 years.
