A 90 point 22 year old center waiting a year and signing after the cap thaws out?
Yes, he easily could get $10M lol.
Yes, now this summer. But not when he signed it, thus it was not a discount. Can't take a discount from something you are not offered lol.
Stuezle and J. Hughes contracts are going to be bargains for years to come. They already are, unless for some reason they fall from the face off the Earth which is highly unlikely. But they didn't take any discounts. Their teams made a bet that their future level will be great, and put these big, 8 year contract offers on the table. For the player, it's a no-brainer to sign it (unless you are Matthews
), those contracts were way above their current value when they were signed.
