And they recently paid Anderson 4.55 million for a guy who if he keeps his pace up this year will have a career high of 22 points.
I am pretty sure “luck” is a factor in all longterm RFA contracts.

For sure.
Lindholm was paid market at the time though, not an overpay. His offensive explosion last year was certainly lucky, but I think the assumed an improvement.
Defensemen aren't generally paid on points, but role, so Andersson is paid assuming he's a top four defenseman. You find that to be a stretch?
So you agreed in the logic that was put in place on the day of the Draisaitl signing then? Or do you think they overpaid based on variables that they either chose to ignore or simply didn't understand?
