I think it was in the Athletic that I read that NHL players might be starting to learn from other sports by sighing short-term deals in order to keep cashing in. McDavid will be underpaid soon, and in the meantime Matthews is lined up nicely to hit UFA.

Signing one or two year deals is riskier, but for the players, it's probably worth it - or at least the top end guys.
