It doesn't add anywhere close to 3 million over the course of the contract.

I don't think that's necessarily the case. The increasing cap gives GMs increasing ability to give out more per year. It's not like any GMs are saying on July 1 "well these three long term contracts from like 6 years ago valued next year's UFA year as X, so I propose you only get X next year".
I'm willing to give Gaudreauvertime credit for saying inflation should apply to all years.
