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

Johansson needs a new contract this offseason. Oshie, Kuznetsov, and Burakovsky will all need raises next summer as well. They won't be able to keep all of them if they continue to produce at the same rate.
