I actually like the deal for the bolts. Elite defensively, good at faceoffs, good skater, could be better offensively but overall I think a good deal for a 2C
You do make great points, but this still seems like too much for a defensive-minded centre, especially for a team with so much cap trouble.

Would agree certainly a little much on the dollar front but maybe he becomes better offensively. Really with this deal it’s all just a “we’ll see” scenario.
"We'll see" on an 8-year contract is too much of a risk, in my opinion.
I mean sure but he’s still kinda young and still can get better so we don’t really know what the contract will look like, and for long extensions like this we don’t really know what it will look like.
