By the numbers: Grading every NHL team’s contract efficiency, 2020 edition
By By Dom Luszczyszyn Nov 6, 2020
This article has the Tanev contract as slightly better than Lucic's contact . Not an easily understandable methodology but it has Lucic ass being -14.9 M and Tanev being -12.6 M
My best guess is that Mr. Luszczyszyn's model figures that Tanev is worth 5.4 million over the 4 years or 1.3 M / year. Which is what Hamonic would likely be looking at should someone want to sign him.
For comparison they have Brodie as a C+ contact for his 5M x 4 year with the first 2 years being better value than 5M and the last 2 less than 5M. net overpayment of 800 K over 4 years.
