He doesn't need to duplicate last years numbers though.
He will get paid regardless....short of a devastating injury. His history dictates as much and that even includes a horrible covid season mixed in.
All that said I believe he signs a 5 or 6 year deal in Calgary which would allow him one more decent contract before his career is up.
