Good for him though.

Dude on twitter tried to convince me this was a great contract. Insisting he’s a top 6 player despite being the 3C behind Point and Stamkos and despite being 7th in ATOI (total and ES). He is a classic example of the strong PO performance getting a big contract. His career stats say he will play 2/3 of a season every year and get 20 points. He’s already 27. He is what he is and will likely suffer injuries from time to time every year. And if he doesn’t I suspect it’s because his physicality drops.
