If he has another strong season next year, then I see no reason why we shouldn't lock him up for 6 to 8 years. It's what pretty much all young star players have come to expect now.
If they don't want a long term deal and just want one that brings him to his last RFA year, the demands might end up being even higher.
As a side note, with Backlund, Monahan and Bennett as our top 3 centres, and with a couple others in the system that need to move up or move on, I can't help but think Stajan will be the odd man out at this point. I think he increased his profile as a player that can bring a veteran presence to a rebuilding team.
