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).

I don't have 6 million as fact, for sure.
But when you take a stab at some of these recent contracts the numbers certainly work when you see where the AAV came in in the end.
Tarasenko at 6 for 4 and 9 for 4 equals his 7.5 but you can certainly bounce around any numbers. If you don't like 6 and want it to be 7 you can do that, but then the UFA years wouldn't be much over the RFA numbers which I don't believe to be the case.
Like 7 for 4 and 8 for 4 would do it, but is that likely?
Your numbers of 7x4 and 9x4 is 8m for Tarasenko and too high.
