I'm very curious to hear your response. I hope you come up with a good one that I don't shred to pieces.
What does a guy who hit a point per game in his sophomore season get? A season where your numbers should drop? And after that his worst is a 0.81 PPG.
How about a guy who hit 0.83PPG in his rookie year and the last half of last year was a top 3 scorer in the NHL
How about a guy who finished with 80 points in 75 games before last year?
Probably all a one off right.
Please tell me how that would get you less than 6.

That is a lot like comparing what the Flames secondary prospects did the last 20 games of 2013-14.... Hankowski, Van Brabrant, Wotherspoon, Aguisitino, Baertschi, Breen, and Reinhart all looked great when the Flames were out of the playoffs and basically playing exhibition games...... that did not mean that they were NHLers or ever would be.
The 6M guys with the Oilers have played a total of 20 games a year where the games counted. After the first 20 games the Oilers have had virtually no chance to make the playoffs and were in tanking and pad the personal stats mode.
At even strength where a 6 m player should dominate: Hall career -23, Eberle career -39 and RHN -23... How do you pay someone who is not as good as the players they consistently line up opposite anymore than 2.5-3M until they get better?
Correct me if I am wrong but I don't recall any RFA offers rumored for these guys that were some other team was willing to give up a bunch of draft picks? Right now they could be in their 2.5M bridge contracts and actually be tradeable.
