Josi was picked with what would have been the Leafs' 2nd round pick in 2008, shipped out for Yanic Perreault. The pick was later traded to Nashville.

Big contract for a guy with only 100 regular season NHL games to his name. Decent point production and nice shot block totals, but, nothing I'd be locking up for 7 years.

3 years, but, yeah. If he doesn't progress from where he is now, he'll be a little overpaid for a few years until the cap rises. The term, though . . . I would have at least waited to see whether or not he can handle a full 82 game NHL season until I locked him up for more than a season or two.

I don't know if I agree. I think that's balanced out by the Leafs having an easier ability to manage their financial mistakes than the Preds. Nashville can't afford to have Josi become a Jeff Finger or Ville Leino type situation. The Leafs could.

Josi is a defenseman.

Yep. And they're not paying him solely based on his NHL production thus far.

I didn't say it was a different decision necessarily, just that it's a harder one. I think the "ability to manage their financial mistakes" is a little less relevant with the new AHL rules and all but I think you'd agree that balancing those two very real realities of players pricing themselves out of the Nashville market/deciding they don't want to play there with the realities of what it means if they're spending a good chunk of their available salary on a bad player is a tougher decision than the GM of the Leafs would have.

It's not as if the Preds would be paying Josi far less on a short-term deal anyway, so it makes sense from their perspective.
He's already good on the defensive side of things, eats a lot of minutes, and possesses pretty good two-way upside. I think this deal will work out in the Preds favour.
On another note, the 08 draft continues to look even more stacked for D-men.

every d-man's dream should be to get to play along side Shea Weber for a year, because this is what happens to you.
