Solid contract but I thought going max length would have been best for the team, wouldn't it ?

This seems to favour the player as I believe he will be UFA at 26. Not 100% sure though.

I expected Byfield to get a similar deal to Slafkovsky. I guess the fact that Slaf's contract doesn't start before next year, is 3 years longer and eats some UFA years kind of makes it similar if you adjust for all these factors.

Nontheless, that's a nice contract that is very team friendly. Depending on the players strategy and where the team is in 5 years, we will see if it was the right choice.
