I'm fine with this, but to me the real mistake was not signing him to a long term deal two years ago. The underlying metrics were there but he hadn't broken out yet on counting stats. Lots of people, including Kent Wilson were pushing to lock him in for a long time for cheap. Something like Josi's previous contract like 7x$4M. It would have become a steal of a contract like Lindholm's and also not a back breaker if he didn't fully pan out.
