Thing is even with what you just said he should probably be worth at most $10-10.5M.
7 forwards in the NHL make over $11M - Matthews, Mackinnon, McDavid, Pastrnak, Panarin, Tavares and now Nylander.
He's not in the range of Matthews, Mackinnon, McDavid, or Pastrnak...and the other two were overpayments to get a guy in UFA.
Nobody else could give Nylander anything close to $92M - which is a $13M AAV on a 7 year contract. Treliving really isn't taking advantage of the benefit of the 8th year in these negotiations IMO. Really feels like this contract should have been at most the same as Huberdeau and around $10.5M. But he's getting an extra $1M.
