Hellebuyck (30 - 7 years)
Scheifele (30 - 7 Years)
Montour ( 30 - 7 Years)
Skjei (30 -7 years)
Stephenson (30 - 7 years)
Tanev (34 - 6 years)

And that's only 4 teams in the NHL giving out those 6 deals. Winnipeg needing to keep their two stars, Seattle trying to make an impact with loads of cap room, and Nashville.

Then there's the only one really sticks out and it's by the same dope who signed Huberdeau. Basically there is one super idiotic GM making the most horrible signings
All GMs know that giving an 8 year contract to a 30 year old is bad. They are just forced to do it, or the guy walks.

And your list is way short. What about Draisaitl for example?
