Hasn't played close to a full season yet and only played 46 games this year due to injury. I worry that he won't play enough to warrant this contract.
Maybe I'm out to lunch, but this is exactly the type of player you bridge because he has a ton of risk in his game still.

.43 career goals per game to date. I don’t think he’s ever going to be a PPG player, but this is a guy that will likely be looking at multiple 40 goal seasons. And it’s hard to find players with that kind of scoring ability. I think this is Montreal knowing they would’ve had to pay more had they gone with a bridge to start. It’s a good deal for Montreal.
I wish players like Caufield and Zegras the best of luck, because these two players are players Edmonton should’ve selected over Broberg.
