I don't think he was likely to ever merit a cap hit above this, but he will probably worth this cap hit in a couple of years in his prime. For the next two years, an overpay likely. But worth it in that if he was only signed to a bridge, he could have been lost easily, something important for Ottawa to not allow with all the talent that left over the past several seasons.
I think it is an okay bargain for Ottawa. If anything, it just shows how fantastic a deal like Svechnikov's probably is in Carolina. THAT is a great deal.
