It certainly delays the joy, but could be just fine or even better in the long run.

For me I didn't think it was likely he walk at the end of this year. I thought a 3 year deal was likely. This puts a timeline on things. I'm happy about that. But he's taking less AAV than I figured. Not happy about that.
The Oilers will be leaving their contention window just as the Flames are hopefully building towards theirs. The key is, them not winning one between now and then.
