I think your understanding of the value he provides is limited. He won a cup, paced over 100 points. Is almost ppg while playing with 2 rookies. Is above average defensively. 3rd in the NHL in penalties drawn. That's fantastic value at 7M. He also showed he can play a shutdown role against elite players enroute to that cup. You don't have to like him, even I don't really like him and he plays for our team. But it just makes you sound silly when you figure he's been overpaid this season.Overpaid doesn't have to be limited to just one season.
A 33 yr old forward that's scored >61 points once in his career, making $7m for the next 5 years is most certainly overpaid overall, and arguably even right now.
