That is not a lot to not have to negotiate against a bunch of other teams in UFA. The Islanders will throw a boatload of cash at him and he will sign there. So it is really locking down a #1 C just hitting his prime plus a chance to make a run at some playoff revenue. For a mid 1st and two meh players that is pretty damn good.
