This is like what San Jose did with Hertl. But they aren’t worried, you see, since the cap is going up.

If you can't see the difference between giving an 8 year contract (what Toffoli wanted) to a soon to be 32 year old (April) forward that doesn't skate well and profiles to be at the very end of his peak years (forwards peak sooner and age quicker for the most part) or a just turned 27 (January) defenseman who may just be entering his peak then we need to stop discussing this.
If Toffoli would have been willing to sign until he was 35 at the going AAV for his type of player, he'd still be a Flame.
