I understand the comparison to Toews given the stats and two-way play but I think Toews has a greater ability to turn it up offensively if needed.

I would give a preference to Toews as well, but how about Ryan O'Reilly? Mentioned above and great comparison (ROR @ $7.5M, albeit younger)
The term sucks, but if they are discussing the NTC/NMC to finalize terms, pretty much tells me he probably won't be finishing that contract with the LAK.
