+$1.1Munderpaid
Produces like #68 of 118 priced defensemen over two seasons (5:3 blend of Season impact), paid like the #102 — $4.0M (#109 restated).
market pays $5.1M at that rank vs $4.0M in 2026-27 dollars
2025-26 alone: #63 of 108
AAV $4.0M · 3.9% of cap at signing · $4.0M in 2026-27 dollars
Below the model’s value/AAV floor — not a headline bargain.
