How about you go out and find examples of where a kid with this amount of established success has been handed a deal like this?
Would love to see such examples to demonstrate how this is a "good move".

Klefbom
7 x $4.167 Total $29.169M
Yes folks, Klefbom is being paid almost $2M more than Brodie for their 7 post-ELC years.
GUARANTEED.
Despite the fact that he has so far done nothing.

Perhaps Klefbom has a higher upside in terms of better skills and hockey IQ than Brodie...

Or perhaps it's just the oilers being the oilers?

Let's try more of these...
Perhaps Pat Sieloff has a higher upside in terms of better skills and hockey IQ than Scott Stevens...
Perhaps Markus Granlund has a higher upside in terms of better skills and hockey IQ than Alex Ovechkin...
Perhaps Pavel Karnaukhov has a higher upside in terms of better skills and hockey IQ than Connor McDavid...
Perhaps Andrew Mangiapane has a higher upside in terms of better skills and hockey IQ than Wayne Gretzky...

Oilers sign Klefbom to 7 year extension ($4.167 mil AAV)
In all seriousness, it is pretty clear exactly how this played out:
This is a young player and a savvy agent taking advantage of a desperate organization painted into a corner.
The Oilers need immediate results. Signing this contract provides the impression that an emerging Klefbom is a top pairing defenseman. He's no where near the number on his paycheck for this season just yet, but the number creates the illusion that he is. Good for Klefbom for taking advantage of a perfect storm of incompetence. But this IS NOT a good deal for Edmonton.

I guess we will have to wait in a year or two and see if my opinion is true...

I hear you and I agree. It was a chance they were wiling to take and it could go either way but Klefbom is coachable and played at a very young age (16?) against men in Sweden's elite league and held his own. against them.
