If it were common there'd be a bunch of guys at the max and way less Troy Brouwers making $4+.
In general real difference makers in the NHL are pretty underpaid relative to their contributions.

It's very rare for a generational talent to be on the market. 30 teams will be lining up with offersheets. There will be plenty with max money for minimum years to get him to free agency. So $14-15M for five years. All he has to do is sign one offer for that and the he is guaranteed being out of Edmonton in five years. The control is then his.
