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.

I don't really agree that it's not an overpay. He had 24 points last year despite spending more time with Draisaitl than almost anyone. Better in the playoffs yes, but we've seen before that that's a small sample size. You shouldn't award contracts based solely on that.
I agree with Kr55 - if Holloway's deal was too much, then paying this player more than Holloway got doesn't make much sense. If he can be a 40-point player, then it's fine, but that's a big if when he has 59 points in 219 NHL games.
The reality is that it's not just the big overpays that hurt this team's ability to build depth. It's all the little foolish things they do adding up. I think I would have liked to at least see a really strong start to the season before I ink this if I'm GM. At this point he COULD become an everyday 2nd liner, or he could be a 4th liner. If it's the latter, he shouldn't be getting almost $3MM/season.
