If you're his agent though you are saying:
He was point per game in the regular season, and had 32 points in 25 playoff games.
His regular season was the 9th highest point total by a d-man since the lockout, and his 32 playoff points is the highest by a dman since the 03-04 lockout.
If I am his agent I am saying that his performance is just as impressive/important as Draisaitl's.
If he's locking up for 8 years that means he is covering his 26-33 year old seasons which is his prime and best chance at a big payday. If I'm him I'd be pointing at the Dahlin contract as what I want at the bare minimum, same age as Dahlin, same draft year, and he'd be arguing he's the better player. Dahlin starts his $11 x 8 this season.
