Saving 3.85 goals above expected per season is worth more than $6 million? Because recency bias?

There are 18 goalies making 6+ million this year, and 0 goals above expected is league average goaltending. So yeah $6 million is the market rate for a starting goaltender in the NHL.
And if you're committed to the premise that trade values are based on the last 3 2/3 seasons rather than the last 1 or 2, I'm curious what you think point-per-game all-star winger Jonathan Huberdeau is worth in a trade.
