you don't need to spend more than $3M with term for a 30 point player. AHL call-ups and 1 year UFAs can give you that kind of production. and this is a best case scenario for him. it's not like he has good fancy stats either. he's a 4th liner.It seems steep, but he is only 25 and just had a career year. If he can be a 30+ point 3rd liner going forward it'll be worth it.
