See the Ras contract, many around the league reacted with the classic "Who?" when we signed him to his current deal, look how sweet it is now. Same with Lindy, Hanifin etc.
I mean just look at NJ, Hughes and Bratt at 8mil a piece is larceny.

Exactly this. The contracts they did this on (overpaying a young guy at the time for a longterm contract) were the following imo
Lindholm - 6 years 4.95 million
Hanifin - 6 years 4.95 million
Rasmus - 6 years 4.55 million.
With Manj after 2020 when he produced at about a 21 goal 18 assists pace over 82 games the Flames signed him to a two year 2.425 million dollar deal. After he produced again they signed him to a 3 year 5.8 million dollar deal. Effectively it was two contracts that ended up being 5 years 22.25 million with a contract to be negotiated next year. Probably would have been better in hindsight to sign Mang to a 7 year 28 million dollar contract after his breakout year in 19/20.
