Nylander may have not got 45M, but he certainly would have got more than 41.77M if he had played 26 games extra. In what industry do you work where working for 2/3 of the time will get you the same as a fulltime employee of the same calibre? It was just as much Nylander's choice to play 5.7 years as it was the Leafs.

Also saying the contract is for 6 years but not saying it's for 45M is about as much cherry picking you can do.

41.77/5.7=7.3, seems like a reasonable compromise.
