The real Melnyk factor here is that Zibanejad will be RFA after this season. So if he has another season like the past season he's due for a new deal with 2 years under team control, and due a pretty big raise. At the end of the day, Melnyk, is spending 10 ish million for this production in the next three years as opposed to spending 13 for it.
