No it wasn't. If the contract was signed before the season started, the AAV would be the same throughout.
The only reason the cap hit is higher this year is to avoid cap circumvention. So they take the cap hit and pro-rate it backwards to 'punish' the team.
It has nothing to do with next year. And again, Nylander isn't getting more this year (as a way of getting less next year). It's just a pro-rating for the cap.
