The problem with this is you're not taking into account this crux comes hand in hand with contracts for players in this age range in the current NHL.
Suggestions it would have been nice to see the contract two years shorter aren't very productive because the dollar amount would substantially increase.
This is a league wide conundrum in retaining players.
Bottom line is we just weren't in a position to lose him now or over the next few years, and this situation comes with the territory.
