Yes, there is such a thing as inflation, but it doesn't explain away all of this.

I wonder how this impacts the Vancouver Canucks's negotiation with RFA Bo Horvat. He is a few months older than Draisaitl, and has never come near to his offensive production, but Horvat also had a break-through career year and he was the leading scorer on his team. Unlike Draisaitl he was easily the Canucks most important player, and was the primary driver of their anemic offense.
Horvat will not get anything close to $8 m, but I would bet that this deal ensures he ends up with more than $6 m, and I think that will also be an overpayment.
