Best example -
Mon- Emelin - 29yo
2012 - came into league @ .984M 1 yr deal, 7 pts 67 games.
2013-2014, 2 yr @ 2M per,2013,38pg, 12 pts, 2014 59gp 17pts
2015 signed new deal @ 4.1M/4years
2015- 68gp, 14 pts
2016- 53gp, 7 pts
That 2013 year he was the same age Naks is now.
with this, I feel there is a benchmark set for this type of player and contract and it sits around $2M/ 2-3 years.

Quoted just your best example to keep the post shorter, but with reference to this and all of your comparable players, Nakladal will not have anywhere near the number of games in this year. Best case scenario - playing every game from now on - he doesn't even get half way to these comparable players. And that best case is far from certain as once Wideman is back, someone needs to sit.
With your reasoning, maybe he needs that further 1 year deal to get enough of a sample of games to be considered alongside these players?
