He's played himself to a huge raise, and with the current relationship between the NHL and the NHLPA there won't be any deals that are less then player value.
Even though he's not playing center, he's probably going to get center money. I look at him right now as more valuable then a guy like Stephen who's making 6.750. I look at a guy like O'reilly who just signed a 7.5 deal or a guy like Giroux who signed a 8.25 deal.
I'm thinking that he's going to hit the money load and get a 7.25 8 year offer.
