Came up in the GDT, so I figured I'd look into it a bit.
In the 2 seasons that Dumba played prior to signing his bridge deal, he was 5th in 5v5 ice time per game and 2nd in PP ice time per game for defensemen, and had 26 points in 81 games in the 2nd season. He got 2 x $2.55M which was 3.49% of the cap back then. So it was a pretty similar role to what Addison is doing now (6th in 5v5 ice time per game and 1st in PP ice time for defensemen).
3.49% of the expected cap of $86.5M next season would be $3M, but Addison is also looking like he'll exceed Dumba's production.
A recent one would be Noah Dobson for the Islanders. Last season, he played a 2nd pair + top PP role and had a 13 goal, 51 point season. He got a 3 x $4M per year deal.
My thought is that "fair" bridge deal would be somewhere in the $2.5-$3 million range on a 2 year deal, depending on how Addison does the rest of the season of course.
