This doesn't start until next season - as percentage of cap it is not an overpay, especially if his offense is waking up (see last playoffs).
Even without that and a small offensive improvement it is fine.

Forgot he's signed 1 more year. Also kinda odd we felt the need to rush this deal and just wipe away some of his incentive to perform this year. He was going to be RFA still next summer.
Right now, this is absolutely an overpay. Guy performed like a 4th liner most of the year, sometimes looking horribly lost. He was given some cherry ice time out of desperation and looked "OK" in those situations, but not at all like a guy that should be a regular in the top 6.
He seems popular in the room, and seems to have Drai treating him like he's his mentor. He really seems to have leveraged that to make us desperate to keep him, rather than us leveraging his comfort to get a discount or even fair market value from him on a multi-year deal.
