Name one post-ELC player even close to that.

Subban's was what $3.5M?

Edit: or are you talking about the first 2 years of a 2nd contract?
Subban was coming off a 7g 36p season, a pretty big decline over the previous year where he scored 14g and 38p in 5 less games. So not only was he not a top 3 player in his position, he was trending downward from a production perspective.

Honestly, Johnny signing a bridge deal would be unprecedented. But I also can't ever recall a player finishing top 6 in scoring signing a deal for <40% of the league max contract.
