Only if you think players continue to trend upwards on a permanent basis. What I said makes perfect sense based
only on logic and trends alone.
At 26 he is in his peak years, with the average NHL forward performing within 90% production of their peak between 24 and 32.
Whatever you think he deserved this past year for his play is what you should pay him for the next three.
He would be an anomaly if he kept getting better, so I think it would be a huge mistake to provide a contract betting on that.
