Monahan, Gaudreau, Ehlers, Pastarnak, Barkov, Mackinnon, Forsberg, Larkin, are all some nice comparables in that ~6.5M range signed by 60 point forward+ at the time.
Ehler's in particular is nice as it kicks in this year, he signed it coming off a 25-39-64 season as a left winger less than a year ago. 6M at 7 years. Not at all the same type of player, but a pretty strong comparable to him. Especially with Ehlers scoring 29 last year. Would be hard to argue that he's significantly worthy of more cash than Ehler at this stage of his career.
Of course then we have Draisaitl making 8.5M...
