But if you think about it (as an Oiler fan, I mean), 5 years would suck on the surface, but it would mean a lower cap hit. Essentially it would shorten the window but open that window a little wider.
If you were an Oiler fan, would you accept that trade-off?

Kind of like the Gaudreau contract at 6 years, I don't sweat it.

Yup, the cap goes up 5-6 times along with maximum salary.
Why be stuck with the current maximum salary when you could get the higher maximum salary years down the road?
