His speed is a big part of his game, so it seems likely he'd follow a typical trajectory or maybe even a sharper drop off. It's pretty unlikely he'd be a top player in the back half of that contract, and might only be a tier 1 type superstar for the first couple years.

Yeah, it's this, and he's also "arguably" the best player in the world on half the ice.
