He is a great defencemen and won a Norris at 23. I don't see how this isn't considered a great deal. He definitely left money on the table.

If a $10M deal is what people would offer, $9.5 is a slight discount. Not a “steal”, especially since he really had no choice, since he won’t play anywhere else.
What I do know is they’d now got $70M on the books for next year, and have to sign Kaako, Miller, Blais, Georgie, sign or replace Strome, and the next year they have Chytil and Lafreniere. They have cap issues.
