Nope Hedman was going to be a UFA at the end of his last deal. I remember because at one point the Bolts had both Stamkos and Hedman going UFA in their primes and I couldn't believe Stevie Y would risk losing them both to UFA like that with their last RFA contracts. Stamkos was last year and Hedman would have been this year had he not signed his extension early.
Both deals are looking more and more like absolute steals too with every passing year and high profile signing.
