He hasn't done anything to deserve 6 mil a year yet, but are their any other comparable players that have the 5v5 numbers he has that get zero pp time?
If he gets the pp1 minutes he deserves next season and consistent linemates that aren't offensive black holes like backlund and Nordstrom his points are going to explode. I don't see signing an extension before next season being in his best interest at all.
I think the 'make him prove it first' crowd are going to.get exactly what they wish for.
