With 67 points, at a 7 million dollar salary, Iginla cost us $104,478 per point. This puts Iginla in the same price-per-point range as the following players:
Gaborik $98,684; B. Richards $101,011; J. Carter $155,079; M. Richards $130,682; E. Staal $117,857; Plekanec $96,154; Semin $124,074; Ovechkin $146,746; Getzlaf $93,421; Kane $95,455; Toews $110,526; Datsyuk $100,000; Heatley $141,509; Thornton $90,909; Marelau $107,813; D. Sedin $91,045; and Kesler $102,041
If Iginla had been paid 6 million, his dollar-per-point would be $89,552 which would unquestionably be one of the better deals in the NHL. There is absolutely no reason to expect anything less than 65 points for the next several years from him and many, many reasons to expect significantly more.
6 million per year for the next three years is more than fair to pay Iginla. Anything less is an absolute steal.
