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, right?
you know um dry silent 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 um 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 he didn't we didn't know he was gonna have that breakup that's the kind of player look at carolina with a jackson blake right and even a stan coven signing them to those long-term deals before they'd really popped and from the team that's a smart bet to make um especially on young players because if it doesn't work out you know either teams are willing to take them on as a reclamation project or
If they're not yet 26, you can buy them out for one third.
So it's very low risk, I think, for a team to pick those guys and sign them long term.
But for the player, if you haven't really popped and you're a little bit of a later bloomer, you're not like that high end top couple overall pick, I think it makes sense.
Like, hey, here's a bunch of money in my pocket.
I can still get another contract around 30 years old.
Those are the players, I think, that take the long-term deals.
