I also don't understand paying him now, before seeing him play and how the season goes. Makes the short term contracts to Kylington and Mangiapane even more puzzling

It may be, that Hubs has been a top player for a while now. And they were willing to pay Johnny that much, why not pay a bigger, better player the same amount?
I think this is a win for Calgary.
Imagine if Weeger signs long term, and Kadri signs as well.....
