Can be, yes.
Most experts suggest he doesn't have the type of offensive upside to be that type of producer.
On a good team, Horvat should get the shut-down role, which should limit his offensive production.
I think Horvat is worth $5.5M, but a team should expect players at a more bargain rate in the pre-UFA years. Horvat simply hasn't displayed that type of production yet to warrant that type of contract.
