I don’t really expect that there is a very high probability of catastrophic/career ending injury.
I mean, how many players under 25 have actually had catastrophic career ending injuries in the past 10 years.

More to the point How many guys have their career years in their first 3 NHL seasons. That is a fairly long list.
Tkachuk has as great season as his 2nd year and he is looking at a 6x6 this time next year.
