Jacob Slavin is 23, played 154 NHL games, and has 54 points. Signs 7 x $5.3m.
Parayko is exactly a year older and has 160 games, 68 points. How are Blues and him not talking long term deal? Seems like market has a pretty reasonable comparable for him.

I'd guess offhand that just because the oilers screwed everyone by damn near killing the bridge contract that doesn't mean some teams don't still like it and want to use it to build a team. Sure you gamble on a PK style breakout but it's a decent bet from ownership's side. You win with cheap contracts in a salary cap league right? So keep guys cheap as long as possible.
