Stajan's last contract was 4.5% of the cap at the time and had a modified NTC likely bringing down the AAV. Even today 4.5% of today's cap would be 3.6M.
Stajan's contract wasn't much of a hindrance in my opinion (and entirely worth it just for the Canucks game 6 goal). So while I would like the AAV at 3M or less, if it's 3.5M I'm not going to lose sleep.
