The whole point of giving term is to capitalize on increased value/production at the same rate.
2 years from now who is going to have a better contract, tlachuk or draisaitl?
Man, I can't believe you're going back to the draisaitl well in a year he is in Pace to finish with 120+ points

I didn't even bring Draisaitl up ... so certainly not me going to a "well".
I don't personally think it's a good example of a shrewd contract signing. It worked out, and that happens, but it was a "please stay in Edmonton long term, pretty please!" contract.
