He's a UFA center that's still only 28 and those guys are hard to come by.
The term is too long but this is a good AAV for the Oilers

Thats
why the term is too long.
Longer term + NMC = Lower AAV
The Oilers were desperate to keep him, and thats likely the dollars they could commit to him, but they had to spread it out to be able to make it work.
The Oilers are banking on the cap increasing and it not being a problem and RNH doesnt care either way. Spreading the money out is actually better for him.
