Retaining $2M makes his contract look good, especially to a team that needs 28 goals in a cost controlled cap hit.

He was about $4M overpaid($6.4M value) based on last year's analytics, and he's likely overpaid by $5.5M for the duration of the contract. Dom's model isn't the best tool out there, so take it with a grain of salt, but it does give some perspective.
I also thought that Hubby got a bit lucky to score 28 last year, as a lot of the goals seemed tot be the result of some puck luck. I would probably take the under on 23 goals this year.
PS: I'm not trying to run the guy out of town, and he has a NMC which he fairly negotiated.
