No big contracts like this do. It’s just the nature of UFAs - you get good value for 2-3 years, and then they’re bad value.
NHL GMs are perfectly aware of this. They sign deals like this because A) if they don’t, then they don’t get the player, and B) because as an organization they’ve decided the quality of the roster for the next 2-3 years matter more than years 4-6.
