Just as a note, the Aucoin extension was at just under 6.6 million for next year viewed as a one year contract (was at 3.84m for this year, moved up to 5.2m over 2). I'm not sure I would see much more than 6.6m for Aucoin next year, especially risk adjusted given his season to date, but to each his own.
