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.

So it’s a $1M overpay. It keeps him in the situation he’s been in his whole career, with a bunch of elite players he’s very comfortable with.
Is he still gonna be good for most of that deal? Probably, it only takes him to 33.
The cap is going to be $100M in a few years.
Locking up Matthews, now Nylander, and I’m assuming eventually Marner will keep their window open throughout.
Bring back Tavares on a reduced salary, or use his money on a big ticket goalie, and take your shot.
