According to Big Head Hockey, this contract is similar to to ones received by:

Where do you think Jake compares to these guys?

Ottawa fan, but trying to be unbiased... It's unfair to compare him to guys that have proven their worth over long careers, but having watched him, a ton, he's worth it. Hockey has become less about what you can do at the trade deadline and more about if you can strike gold in the draft. In that regard, it's nice to lock down a guy who shows all the potential to be a superstar. Still, these long contracts always scare the crap out of me.

Good points all around. I'm just happy to finally have an ownership group that doesnt dump a promising player at the first sign of a payraise lol.
