If he had consistency he'd be a first line player. He doesn't and he is a second line guy.

He is getting paid like a #1 center tweener....hell have to produce like it going forward.

He's a career 51 point pace player through over 400 regular season games and is 23. It's a safe bet he'll produce at that 50-60 point pace given that is what he has produced at all along. It's not a stretch to suggest that he can be a 60+ point player.
I'm sure some inflation has maybe happened in his numbers but he'd be a top 6 player on most teams in the league. Second line guys are getting 4-5 mil a year now. His contract is right in line with that.
