I love this contract. As a player who is very likely a bottom 6 or maybe 2nd line material for durations of his career, this is a contract that appears to signed by someone who just wants to play, and understands what he likely brings to the NHL.

If it were me, and I knew where I stood in the league relative to everything, I would 100% sign a contract like this. I get to take home $20 million to set myself and my family up for life, and I also get to play hockey for the next 7 years of my life.

I wish all guys signed contracts like this. I understand money plays a big factor, and ego an even bigger factor. But honestly, this is such a team friendly contract. Someone posted that they hope Bennett signs this. I absolutely 100% agree. Wishful thinking that Gaudreau will sign this sort of contract (albeit higher dollar value) when his contract comes up.
