Yeah for me last year with Kadri the production wasn't the issue - 24 goals and 56 points is actually right on his per 82 game average for his career, like exactly his career average.
It was that he lacked the tenacity and edge he played with most of his career, especially in the second half of the season.
If he can provide around 60 points in a second line role, and play with that edge then he's fair value at $7M IMO. He shouldn't be expected to get a PPG at a $7M salary.
