Lindell had 23 ES points, 7 PPP this past year -
Some comparables:
Marc-Edouard Vlasic - 24 ES points, 1 PPP ($7M cap hit)
Jaccob Slavin - 22 ES points, 7 PPP ($5.3M)
Tyler Myers - 22 ES points, 7 PPP (80 GP) ($5.5M, UFA coming up)
Hampus Lindholm - 21 ES points, 7 PPP (76 GP) ($5.2M)
Colton Parayko - 19 ES points, 8 PPP (80 GP) ($5.5M)
Brady Skjei - 24 ES points, 0 PPP (78 GP) ($5.25M)
Kevin Shattenkirk - 21 ES points, 7 PPP (73 GP, and not representative of his historical PPP, but this is what he had this past season) ($6.65M)
So based on that list, no that far off just based on points. I don't watch enough Dallas hockey to know if Lindell stacks up to the above list defensively, but points wise this contract is not out of the ordinary, considering the cap continues to go up.
