If you’re on Blues Twitter, you should be familiar with the ire thrown Patrik Berglund’s direction. He is paid a lot of money ($3,850,000) for a lot of time (through the 2021-2022 season).

Typing that felt weird. I will be 40 by the time Berglund’s contract is up.

That term plus that amount leads fans to expect a level of production that Berglund doesn’t regularly reach. So far this season, since coming back from a shoulder injury, he has eight goals and six assists in 40 games. That is not production that warrants his contract.
