Earlier this week the Edmonton Oilers announced they had re-signed the Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. The deal is for $41 million over 8 seasons. Thanks to Pierre Lebrun’s Twitter account, we could see the breakdown as follows:

21-22: $5M salary

22-23: $5.25M salary

23-24: $6.25M salary

24-25: $6.25M salary

25-26: $4M salary plus $2M sb

26-27: $2.25M salary plus $2.5M sb

27-28: $2.5M salary plus $1.25M sb

28-29: $3.75M salary

This is a quintessential Ken Holland contract.
