Is Marco Scandella's contract a bad deal?

Marco Scandella has been a regular on the Wild blue line since 2013-14, and on November 30, 2014, he signed a 5-year, $20 million contract. Since entering the years covered by that contract, the level of his play seems to have dropped. In 14-15 he scored 11 goals and 12 assists for his career high for points and goals. He established that he has a good shot, which he can get on net even from afar. For most of that season Scandella played with Jared Spurgeon. Together they saw 573 5v5 minutes and had a CF% of 52.
