I will have to vote no. Even when looking at this past year, 6.5M would correlate to a low 1.6 fpts/g. Once you couple in the fact that he is a young player with a clear uptick in production, I think you need to be looking at something in the 7.25-is 8M range. While one might say that the fact that his production has been in lower tiers, I think that is irrelevant given that he is 21 years old.

He's played in 3 full NHL seasons out of 4. Therefore, a bridge contract is not mandatory.
Then:
Step 4
Take the player’s production from the most recent season to determine his salary range. Before finalizing your offer based on the salary range, check for these conditions:
a) Has the player had 2+ full seasons (30GP+) where he was in a higher production tier?
i. If yes, salary offered MUST be one range higher
ii. If no, proceed to the next condition
b) Has the player had 2+ full seasons in the past where he was in a lower production tier?
i. If yes, salary range MAY be one step lower
According to Step 4b, he has 2+ full seasons where he was in a lower production tier, so salary range MAY be one step lower.
Based on his most recent season, his salary range should be 6.5M-7.25M. I offered within the salary range, albeit at the lowest end.
Then:
d) Does the player demonstrate a clear upward trend in production?
i. If yes, make an offer one salary range above the suggested salary range
ii. If no, make an offer within the salary range for the most recent season.
According to step 4d, he shows a clear upward trend. Therefore, the salary offered should be one range higher; from 7.25M-8M.
However, I feel step 4b and 4d, in this case, should be both factored in. I did not offer a salary range lower (although step 4b gives me the option), or a salary range higher, but feel this is more balanced. I can agree that based on his age it may seem like it is on the lower end.
However, age is a real-life factor which seems to be only considered for young stars...
