Kadri, I'm less confident. We overpaid for a career year that was always going to be hard to replicate, and he came back to Earth and his usual 50-60 points season. It's what he is - a solid 2nd line forward, but not a 7x7 guy. Especially in his 30s.

Is a 60 point, second line centre considered overpaid at his contract in todays NHL, though? I think the 7X7 is more reflective of his career average stats than his career season last year.
Now if you're making an argument that teams need to be paying young players for what they're on track to become than veterans for what they've accomplished in the past, then I'm with you.
