It's not completely out to lunch...but it's an overpayment for sure.
Here are the forwards that have signed for $7M+ coming off their ELCs in 2021, and their PPG over the last two seasons:
Tkachuk - 7 x $8.2M - 0.63 PPG
Suzuki - 8 x $7.8M - 0.65 PPG
Pettersson - 3 x $7.4M - 0.93 PPG
Svechnikov - 8 x $7.75M - 0.84 PPG
Kaprizov - 5 x $9M - 0.93 PPG
Barzal - 3 x $7M - 0.89 PPG
Outside of Kaprizov who Minnesota overpaid due to Russian influence factors Tkachuk has the highest cap hit of that group, while having the lowest offensive production.
