At the same age Dustin Boyd was putting up comparable numbers on a team similar to the Predators (i.e. not a ton of depth to have to go through for the forwards).
At the same age Nigel Dawes was outscoring Jarnkrok.
I'm sure both players in retrospect would have loved a contract like this. The guy has 57 points in the NHL, is about to turn 25 and just signed a $12,000,000.00 guaranteed contract. It's not a bad situation for a player like him.
He could continue to find mild success, he could break out. Those both will look good for the Predators.
He could also find himself out of the league.
