Because it aligns with Monahan/Gaudreau contracts. It gives us more cap space in a window of those 3 players prime years (as well as signed players such as: Gio, Backlund, Neal, Hamonic(likely)). You can build around that and I don’t see it being detrimental to the future of the organization. You just plan accordingly ahead of time.
