And what he did in his first two seasons was great. He will be paid more than those players as a result.
I don't see him getting $7M. That's a market resetting contract, and Treliving has gotten every other player for less than expected. Gio was easily getting $7.5, according to the internet. Monahan $6.5+. Dougie was never expected to sign for $5.75.
We have a player who scored 30 goals in his second season (just like his centre) and finished 3rd in Calder voting.
Yes, he's really good. And that message will be conveyed with a $6.74M AAV.
