I think expecting him to have a 20-25% bump in production is a lofty goal. 60 points for a 8 million dollar dman in today's NHL should include being very good defensively which is not Chabot. A 60 point dman in today's NHL is somewhere between 12-15th in the league for dman scoring. It is more likely that the Flames would be getting a dman who is somewhere between 20-30 in the league for dmen scoring because I doubt he ever gets close to 60 points. Chabot is the 17th highest paid dman in the NHL so you would think if you are getting an average defensive dman (which he is at most) you would be getting a top 5-10 scoring dman for that price point.

But everything you are saying is based on so far, I think he has 60 in him if he can stay healthy and it's more like 10-15% bump from his normal pace.
There are 20 dmen that make $8mil but very likely that number grows a ton in the next 4 years. 1 thing to say his contract is a steal (I didn't), another to say Ottawa needs to add 7OV as Chabot contract is a terrible negative value contract and one of the worst contracts in the NHL? He has been close to par so far on that $8 mil and typically contracts improve as the cap goes up.
Chabot for Markstrom - likely trade made if Ottawa and Calgary get a deal done. Minor pieces could be added but it's a hockey trade that could make sense for both teams
Chabot and 7OV for Markstrom and something - CP way overestimating the value of our guys and under valuing the other team's players.
