In some ways I like it. Worry about paying them big money after they have earned it.

Probably but they are also kind of handcuffed already with a lot of long term deals and not many of them look that great at present time. I don't know if they can afford to give out many more 5+ year deals as their roster is already set in stone until past 2020 for the most part. They are going to need players on entry level deals play above their contract values or it's not going to be pretty for them.
