Disgusting.
Nowhere close to worth that contract even if he replicates last season, let alone surpasses it.
His defense is absolutely non-existent and his offense is HIGHLY unlikely to continue. No idea how the GM could look at his numbers this year and think that's the player he is, not the one we've seen every other year of his career.
His defense needs to improve remarkably and his offense needs to at minimum remain the same for this contract to be anywhere worth it, let alone a "steal".
I would much rather Kadri's contract that takes him to retirement over Thompson's because I know he'll at least live up to it for a few years. Thompson will be lucky to not look back on last season as a career year.
Good for Thompson, but yikes.
