As noted by Rishaug, Nugent-Hopkins likely would have gotten more money on the open market but his priority was to stay in Edmonton.
There most likely would have been a higher dollar figure on the open market, but remaining an Oilers was an absolute priority for RNH who can now complete 18 years with the club by the end of this deal.
