By "bulk" you mean less than half? He may have won the Norris, but there hasn't been much to like since then. He was -3 in the Colorado series, +2 last season, -1 in the bubble, and -8 this season.
Tremendous in 18-19, very good in 16-17, mediocre in 17-18 and 19-20, and bad this season. So he played way above his pay grade in one season, at his pay grade in one, slightly below in two, and WAY below in one (likely two). I wouldn't call that getting full value.
You don't call a contract a steal just because you got great value in 2 out of the 6 years. If it resulted in a deep playoff run or two you could maybe make a case, but it didn't.
