So since JG entered the NHL he is 4th among LW's as far as points per game. (over 100 games played is the baseline)
Ahead of him are
Artemi Panerin who is getting an aav of 11.6
Brad Marchand who is getting an aav of 6.125
Alex Ovechkin who is getting an aav of 9.5
Just below him are
Jonathon Huberdeau at an aav of 5.9 (new deal coming here as well)
Jamie Benn at an aav of 9.5
Jake Guentzel at an aav of 6.0
Taylor Hall at an aav of 6.0
So its a bit all over the place but if you want JG long term, its gonna be in the 8.5-9M range, even though he may not be as complete a player a few of them. Particularly when you add in the bit more it seems to cost Canadian teams to keep/sign guys like this.
Just the reality of the situation.
