Panarin is also a better player and is overpaid.
Anyway, I'm moving on from this.

You're just saying players are better than Johnny - but as pointed out above, very few players have been better than Johnny during Johnny's time in this league.
I was using Iginla to bring up some historical data from a salary cap % perspective, and you're right - Johnny is no Jarome, which is why I had listed Johnny at 11.5% of the cap, whereas Jarome garnered nearly 18% and 14% of the salary cap with his last two deals with Calgary.
You saying Johnny isn't as good as Panarin is debatable to some degree, and I can just as easily say "your evaluation of Johnny Gaudreau is incorrect", but again - I'm not saying Johnny is better than Panarin. I put forward 11.5% for Johnny, whereas Panarin signed for 14.29% - and that 11.5% is also for Johnny signing in Calgary, a less desirable market than New York.
