8M+ used to be superstar calibre player with a Stanley Cup. Now 2nd line center on a team with center depth (aka Draisaitl/Couture) are $8M players. San Jose is not going anywhere with Couture as their top line C in my opinion.
You are correct about JVR/Neal, but this proves the point if anything. There had been another jump in overpayment. 2-3 years ago top 6 free agent wingers were in the 6x6 ball park (Lucic, Eriksson etc.)
