How does Chevy continue to do this?!
If/when Ehlers cracks 75-85 points, which could likely be this year, this contract is an ABSOLUTE steal...
Solid deal! If he's 70 point player for the bulk of those years then Jets are in a great situation.
Scheifele, Little and Ehlers for under $18M is incredible value. Jets will need to pinch every penny when Laine eventually requires $10M/year.
This is outstanding!
Ehlers and Laine are very close. I expect that having Ehlers around will make it easier to sign Laine long-term.
The franchise's future is looking bright!
Is this seven years after expiry of the ELC? So we have him locked up for 8 years total? Or 7 years total counting this year?

Why would Laine be difficult to sign?
Great deal...I wonder if the Trouba holdout fiasco is actually working in Chevy's favour now. He can tell these top RFA's that he is still buying 4 RFA years on any long term contract and he will not pay market value for those years. Players are welcome to force his hand by holding out, but are likely to loose in the end, as Trouba did.
Regardless of the reason below-market contracts for key players appears to be a strength of Chevy's...now if we could only get him to properly assess bottom-six talent...
