In this case, the actual value is irrelevant, but if you need to state that, it's FMV is actually $30,000, which is what a person is willing to pay for it.
A discount is when you sell something for less than you could actually get in the marketplace.

This is just getting silly and completely unnecessary.
A discount contract in the NHL is when you get more value from the player than you are paying for. Gaudreau under $7 million is now looking like a great discount contract.
If Brouwer would have signed a 4 year, $17.5 million dollar contract with any other team, instead of the 4 year $18 million dollar contract the Flames gave him, do you really feel that other team would have got Brouwer on a great discount contract? I'd say he still would have been ridiculously over paid, but you're saying it's a discount, because the Flames were willing to pay even more.
As Oil Stain pointed out, that means essentially every NHLer is on a discount contract, as there's likely another team that would have paid a little bit more for that player.
If you actually believe the Leafs got Tavares on a discount at $11 Million dollars per year, making him the second highest paid player in the NHL, just because someone else was willing to pay more, then have at it.
