I do t think we can discount 6 years from the equation as it does buy a year of free agency. When Dougie signed his deal with the Flames it was called long term.
I hope you are right but to a 23 year old 5-6 years is a pretty long time. Thanks to the 5 RFA years I do hope you are correct and when all parties talk long term that 7-8 years is what is being discussed
