Easily a number of teams would have given him a longer contract that brought him to 36-37 or so. Another bad year or injuries could have been costly, so a guaranteed 28M is nothing to scoff at, but a bounce back year and he left a lot on the table not going to UFA.

Four years, $7M AAV. Keys here are VGK avoid lengthy term and Pacioretty gets a premium AAV in a tax-favorable state for his (financially) career-defining contract.
