He's been awesome for the kids but reality is he's 32 soon and likely will only be effective for 2-3 years, no doubt he deserves a raise but I'm sure he paid attention to a lot of older players being cast aside this summer for cheaper youngsters. Surely he knows he's not Jagr or Selanne
He might take something like:
5.5
3.5
3.0
He gets a raise the first year and gets some old age security the last two.
