Johnny's great. But not quite PPG if you want to be accurate (except for 2013-14 when he was 1 game, 1 point). Just like Hall was not quite a 30 goal scorer (but was a PPG twice). Of course, Tarasenko isn't PPG either (but is a 40 goal man).
Tarasenko's contract was widely described as "unprecedented". As such, I'm not sure why it has to be followed. Then again, if you double Jacob Silverberg (39 points, $3.75M) you get $7.5M so it could be argued that that's the number.
