4 or 5 years, 5.25 is fair IMO, bit of a hometown discount but he knows what he is here now and the team is growing into quite a good young core. He brings so much to the table now, plays in all situations, faceoff guy, shutdown center, scores, is a playmaker of sorts, is appearing to be more physical this year which is a bonus. Lots to like and he just keeps getting better - sign him now or a guy like Babcock will be calling for this guy and saying he's worth the asking rate which could be as high as 6 mill per IMO on the open market.
