If he plays more like what we should expect him to, then this deal is right in the ballpark of market value.
The way I see it: the Oilers are either getting market value on a middle-six player, or they are setting themselves up for a massive overpay on the basis of an unsustainable performance. I am fine with either outcome.

Dube is 3 months older than Yamamoto and nominally bigger. In his 121 game sample he put up 18 goals and 43 pts and +1 Dube's numbers should be easier to sustain as they really trail Yamamoto's 20 goals 52 pts +20 in 105 games
Maybe because the Flames had cap space to burn Dube got a 3 x 2.3 M
If he was market value of 1.175 for 1 year the Flames paid him 5.725 over years 2 and 3 of his deal. 2.86 x 2
The more the Flames hand out multi-year deals to players coming off ELCs, the deeper the hole they are risking of digging themselves into.
From a distance the Oilers have a better value on their contract than the Flames have with Dube.
Who is going to have a better 2021-22?
