That is different than what the MOU states. The MOU limits the QO to 120% of the average value of the contract.
Quote:
For SPCs signed after the date of this agreement, if the minimum
Paragraph 1 NHL Salary portion of a Player’s Qualifying Offer
would otherwise be greater than 120% of the Averaged Amount
of the SPC, the minimum Paragraph 1 NHL Salary portion of the
Qualifying Offer will instead be 120% of the Averaged Amount.
For example, if a Player has a 3 year SPC with Paragraph 1 NHL
Salaries of $3.0 million in Year 1, $6.0 million in Year 2, and $9.0
million in Year 3, the minimum Paragraph 1 NHL Salary portion
of the Qualifying Offer will be $7.2 million. If, however, such
Player’s 3 year SPC had Paragraph 1 NHL Salaries of $5.0 million
in Year 1, $6.0 million in Year 2, and $7.0 million in Year 3, the
minimum Paragraph 1 NHL Salary portion of the Qualifying Offer
will be $7.0 million.

So because Sergachev's final year $7.2 million would exceed 120% of the average value of $4.8 mil ($5.76 mil), Sergachev's QO would be $5.76 mil
