Yes I agree he is better than he was 4 years ago (as he should be at his age)...and maybe he is going to be what he has been the last 40 or so games played, but that is really all we have as a sample size that he is a guy that can be leaned on as a 2 way/2nd line player. Nothing wrong with making him earn a long term deal as no matter how we look at it, he has not been at that level for anything nearing a full season in consecutive games.
It just scares me to see long term/big money deals handed out at this point to someone who may or may not be who we think he is based on his ability to stay in the line up and show it for any length of time.

It's too bad capgeek is gone or I would direct you there to look at some contracts...
It's not 2004 any more. Four years is no longer considered long term and $4M is no longer big money.
