His 1.11 PPG over the last 3 seasons ranks 18th in the NHL but it's below the other major wingers that would be his comparables and he makes more than all of them, even if you only look at contracts signed over the past 2 years.

Pastrnak: 1.28 PPG - $11.25M
Rantanen: 1.25 PPG - ??? (Making $9.25 now)
Tkachuk: 1.24 PPG - $9.5M
Kaprizov: 1.19 PPG - ??? (Making $9.0 now)
Robertson: 1.17 PPG - $7.75M (Bridge)
Forsberg: 1.08 PPG - $8.5M (Might actually be his best comparable IMO)

I'll include these two as well because even though they've struggled they were the most recent prominent wingers to sign UFA deals as wingers.

Gaudreau: $9.75M - 1.07 PPG in the three years prior to his deal
Huberdeau: $10.5M - 1.25 PPG in the three years prior to his deal

I feel like it could have been argued that $10.5M would have been an overpayment - let alone $11.5M.
