Well, again, why would he do that?

If he only wants a four-year deal and he tells Chicago, I only want a four-year deal, they have no choice but to give it to him, right?

So why would he sign that with Vancouver and go through that awkwardness in the dressing room and in the market?

Again, to me, an offer sheet comes from when a team doesn't have the space or a player that wants to get paid and is fine with...

whether he goes or stays as long as he gets paid.

And I just don't think that those line up for Bedard in Chicago.

I'm sorry for all the emails you're going to get after I say that.

No, I think the top players, we will see them going shorter and shorter.

To your point, they can make a lot more money over their career if they go two, three, four, five-year deals instead of seven-year deals.

And to your point about injury, they can get insurance too, right?

So it's not like that's a complete risk.

So yeah, the high-end players, I would expect them to go shorter, like the kind of Austin Matthews model, right?

Where he wasn't doing one or two-year deals, but he wasn't going like the seven, eight-year deals like...

you know, Dreissel and McDavid did in their second contract.

I think the players, like, we've seen that are still going to be open to the long-term deals are ones that haven't quite hit yet, right?

Or maybe we're a little slower development.

Like, look at Doan in Buffalo, right?

Like, the perfect time for him to...

In hindsight, now at the end of the season, he probably wishes he hadn't signed it.

But at the time, he hadn't established himself really, right?
