That's what he'll be shooting for - probably more than that - and as he's better than Nylander, he'll likely get it. Unless he goes for more term, in which case the cap hit will be even higher.

That's not correct.
Nylander's total cash received is $41.75M, which carries a cap hit of $6.96M
Pro-rating this year is a paper transaction. It doesn't put money in Nylander's pocket. He isn't making $45M.
