I don't see the argument falling flat or becoming silly to use RFA years as a relevant factor in the discussion.
"player controlled years" is an issue in all pro spots. Less options means less power in the negotiation. Huge factor.
Nobody is upset when a UFA signs for what he wants, the teams have to hold the line on the player controlled seasons.

Why choose 6 million though for a RFA year? Where does that number come from? Yes UFA would be worth more than a RFA year, but the problem is the valuation of those RFA years and the exceedingly high discrepancy.
6 million a year for a PPG player as a RFA versus 10 million a year for a PPG UFA? I just don't see it it being such a large discrepancy.
I would say its more 7 million as a RFA + 9 million for UFA. 5 RFA years of 7 million + 3 UFA years of 9 million = 7.75 million a year average (which is what I predict he will sign for in the end as a middle ground).
