People are too worried about signing older guys to long term deals. As long as you build it out so you can buy the contract out at the end it not a big deal.
Kadri 7 year deal is structured to be a 5 year deal and you buy out the last 2 years if he's done and you've got like 2% of the cap locked for 4 years in the buyout. Weegar's is basically the same deal where you can buy out the last 4 years and have 2% of your cap locked up in the buyout.
Unless the guy gets a Huberdeau like contract - you aren't stuck with some 38 year old guy who can't play anymore.
