At least we get to see them play the right way for at least two more years 
Two years actually seemed like a perfect length.

Yeah, that pretty much covers this group's cup window. Yzerman kept together almost the same team from our cup run last season, but the time is coming up where he'll have to make some hard decisions to deal with a potential cap issue. Kucherov, Stamkos, Bishop, Hedman, Palat, and Johnson are all in need of new deals this year or next. Those are some major pieces. So no rush or anything Coop.
Just going off of what was first reported. No ones announces how long the deal really is yet. Prolly 2-4 years.

Who cares how many years he got? Coaches are literally hired and fired at will, regardless of contract length.
Fun with numbers, since Cooper's extension (6 games):
Stamkos: 0G 3A -4
Kucherov: 6G 1A +1
...
Now, what strikes me isn't so much the numbers, but the eye test. I know a lot of people have believed Stamkos hasn't been putting in an effort since last year, but to me, and to a few others, it really hasn't looked that way until... oh, about the last two weeks. I'm with you now. Stamkos has checked out. There's a difference in his demeanor.
So yeah. To anyone who believed the smoke about Stamkos and Coop having issues, who I probably argued with about there being no evidence to support that: you were right, I was wrong.

It's really immature of him to check out. I mean it's telling how starkly different those stat lines are when they've been playing together most of the time. So it's not like Cooper has been setting him up to fail. Don't get me started with that offensive zone start nonsense. It's hard to get many offensive zone starts when you aren't getting enough offense in the first place.
