Always risky when you have to try to predict the future. Hard to know exactly what a player will be playing like in a few years and not many GMs and agents could have predicted a flat salary cap last couple years and the free agency period and signings reflects that as well. If I remember right when they signed Nurse they mentioned there was a plan for the salary cap to increase.
I mean he’s still good value compared to Lucic

Lucic.
Another epic contract failure in Edmonton. They still pay 12.5% of his salary. That said I see him working hard. His age has caught up to him. I don’t see him slacking.
James Neal contract was also a failure for Calgary.
I think fans would prefer to see players get an equal base salary and then get a share of bonus money for performance metrics TBD.
Then players can’t sign amazing deals and then never live up to expectations.
Pay for performance.
