Agreed Mathgod. It is more likely than not these early long term contracts seem to work out Hischier, J Hughes as well just off the top of my head. It also prevents you from having to sign UFAs at a premium.
I think studying your young players and getting them on long term deals earlier than later is a major key to succeeding in the cap era and it's good we got ours done with Lindholm/Hanifin and home grown Andersson early.
You might miss (Edmonton/Nurse) but I believe the reward weighs out the risk in most cases.
