About what one would expect in term and price.
He hasn't distinguished himself anywhere near what he needed to get a long term deal. Injuries, of course, probably contributed to this. In any case, durability and performance questions made a longer term deal inappropriate at this point.
It also sets the bar for Jones. Probably a similar deal is in order for him. I've read some calling for an 8 year deal for him. Makes me cringe. He was a massive turnover machine last night. He's nowhere near deserving of anything more than a discounted long term deal. If Josi is making $4 million per, then that would be the high end I would think.

Oh FFS. You cannot realistically compare to Roman Josi as a fair-value contract. That is literally THE best value-for-money contract in the NHL, and it was signed with the known risk that Josi had had lots of concussions earlier in his career and could have ended up a perpetual LTIR resident. If that's your target... that's just insane.
We could have pulled that off with Murray, but expecting it of Jones? Don't be absurd.

Everyone has a bad game every now and then. As an advocate of locking up a prior potential superstar it is interesting to see you adopt a new stance.

If I may,
you can't just look at Josi/Kling now and look what they are making, you have to look at their CV before they signed those contracts, not how they look now and what they have done afterwards.
Hamilton signed a 5.75M longterm contract last year, and I'd easily have Jones over Hamilton in Boston, Hamilton is the comparison to Jones right now.
