I think the lesson here is: extending everyone for 8 years isn't always the best thing to do

funny that 2 of the best are players who have yet to play a game out of their 8 year deals.

to me, the lesson is a little more blindingly obvious: 8 years is a hell of a long time.

First name on the list is proof of that - 2 years ago, 25% into his 8 year extension, everyone on this board would immediately have responded that the Jeff Skinner deal is *clearly* the worst name here. But back to back 30 goal seasons, and breaking 80 points last year, has definitely changed that conversation.

Maybe there's some hope for Seth Jones and Darnell Nurse to turn it around, too.

It was technically signed by New Jersey, but the Jackets essentially gave Severson 8 years.
