It isn't a question of smart or dumb. Agents of star players know there's always a GM out there who will offer max term, so they make that non-negotiable. Even with RFAs, if you don't offer a guy the whole 8 years, he can Tkachuk you and walk to UFA status at the earliest possible date.
The only way to stop those deals is to take them off the table for every team.
