You might be right but Johnny also had a bigger contract than landeskog already and is a year older than landeskog is now when he becomes a free agent.
$50 mil might be low but I think $60 might be high too. For any other team to give $60 mil would be 7 years and $8.5. The 8th year would mean trading assets to get him now
Also I’m sure American citizens who get heavy bonuses from Canadian teams get a tax break. Might need to go that route similar to Mathews on his last deal
That 8th year is our advantage. I still think $50 mil will be close but I don’t think Brad has the balls to do 8 years for Johnny either.
