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.
Mediocre in 17-18? The year where he had some of the best stats in the league?

Even last year he’s still a top 30 dman by about any metric.

This is the first year he’s struggled and I’d say he wasn’t worth the $6.75M.

Just because you made up some narrative in your head doesn’t make it true
