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?

Draisaitl was paid market rate for a winger who put up 77 points. It is generally in line as a percentage of the cap with what Tarasenko signed for 2 years earlier. Throw in a small bump for draft position (as the Flames did with Bennett on his more recent contract) and it is a perfectly reasonable contract.
