Didn't mean to sound aggressive... However, we will be seeing deals like that more often now... Its a good deal, in that we get Petey through his prime years, and don't have to regularly worry about, where we stand with regards to money... I am normally apprehensive about long term deals, but if ever there was a great gamble, this would be it... And its in my pocket

Absolutely its a gamble, like with all big contracts... especially with Petey having a bit of a funk just now... But, he is getting into his prime years... Benning (yes him nobody likes) said you win with 28-33 years old players... Miller hit his top form in that period, as did the Sedins and Kessler, Bertuzzi, Nazzy etc etc.... so it's fair to hope we haven't even seen the best of Petey yet, and that he is going to be even better as he grows older... Anyway here's hoping

I'll be brutally honest and say, its around the number, I thought he would sign at. How much of a discount or not it is, is up to what he brings in the future... If he scores around 100+ points most years throughout his contract, I think we can all agree he will have earned it... However, if he should flounder, then it a hell of a big hit to take... But these are the chances we have to take... Where we really need to hit the jack pot now, Is Lekkerimaki becoming a super goalscorer and Wallander at least becoming a top 4 RHD... These starting contracts will come in extremely handy over the next couple of years. I personally think, MacKinnon is close to the talents, we call generational... He does everything... but that is just me... few does a few things better, but rarely as many as MacKinnon...

I agree amigo. But whats the tax in Colorado. Not sure why Mac signed such a sweetheart deal there, but its more a case of Mac playing well above his contract, just like Miller does. However Macs ontracts goes on until he is 36 at least ( so maybe because of expected reduction in production at the later part of his contract)... Mac should be up there with McD and Matthews.
