Don't get me wrong, he's getting paid for sure, but teams prepared to make 80 million dollar commitments aren't adjusting their bottom lines game by game. It just doesn't work that way.

I agree that the numbers don't change on a game by game basis.
But this year's version of Johnny is different than the last few years. People now understand that his numbers with Monny were deflated. So, his value today is greater than it was at the end of last season.
Same for Tkachuk.
