Paying full value for that one for sure.

I wonder what it would have cost to sign him prior to this year in the offseason...discussions around the time were around $9.5M.

So he bet on himself and earned an extra $10-$16M probably.

Treliving seems to have horrible luck of guys overperforming when they bet on themselves in contract seasons, but then he always wants to overpay them too.

Huberdeau, Gaudreau, and now Nylander were all guys that were more 80-90 point guys, that put up 110+ points in the contract year, and got paid as consistent 100+ point guys.
