I dislike overpaying a 21 y.o.
Montreal had constant development problems with high potential players. (See Galchenyuk, Kotkaniemi, Leblanc,Tinordi,etc.)
They get all the attention and pressure, looses focus with puck bunnies and nightlife and end up never realising their potential.
I fail to see how giving a kid a who hasn't done anything a garanteed 12M is supposed to help avoid this scenario.
They just had to give him a bit less than Kakko's contract and make him work for his next payday. The salary cap will be going up by then anyway.
