I can't get behind that deal - dude never performed like that at any level, not even in juniors. He put up 10 points in 33 GP in 2020-21 getting almost identical minutes (13:13 EV, 0:52 PP in 2020-21 vs. 13:13 EV, 0:51 PP in 2021-22) and skating with Barkov and Verhaeghe; this year he skated with Reinhart and Lundell instead. It wouldn't be unheard of for a guy in his mid-20s to just click as a late bloomer but I wouldn't want to be the one making a $4.25M bet that he's the outlier.
