I'm more scared of the AAV as it relates to the term.

Same thing goes with Kadri, and to a lesser extent, Markstrom and Coleman. Maybe Lindholm if they extend him.

I almost wonder if these contracts are going to force a rebuild. If they do, then I don't care about how inefficient they.
There's plenty of reason to be concerned about the contract. But it's a fact he has yet to actually play a game under it, so "3rd most overpaid" seems a stretch.

It strikes me that a guy on a one way contract - even minimum NHL salary, playing in the AHL is more overpaid, since he's making 10 times what he normally would as an AHL player.
