Wow, that would be something if a player who will be an RFA at the end of his current deal (with 2 remaining RFA years) got a $10M AAV contract after playing a single season, in a position in which results can vary greatly from year to year.
Shesterkin got 8 X 11.5, but that contract was offered in his 5th NHL season, and all 8 of those years are UFA years.
