People who actually watch the team are not worried.Holy hell, they better hope he is as good as he was last year, and not a flash in the pan.

Not worried. He has consistently gotten better every year since his draft. Even if he plateaus from now on, it's still good value for what he brings.
Every 8 year deal comes with risk, especially for young players that haven't consistently proven to be top end talent, but this is the type of risk teams like Winnipeg need to make. Scheifele is emerging as a very good player. If he continues at his current level of play the deal will work out. If he takes another step the deal will be a steal.

Nice to see a measured, logical take in a sea of steals and overpayments.
The contract makes a ton of sense for both Scheifele and the Jets the day it was signed. That's all you can ask.
