If he gets the pp1 minutes he deserves next season and consistent linemates that aren't offensive black holes like backlund and Nordstrom his points are going to explode. I don't see signing an extension before next season being in his best interest at all.
I think the 'make him prove it first' crowd are going to.get exactly what they wish for.

For me it depends on who moves out. I don’t see him moving up to the top pp unit if everyone is back next year
I also could see treliving adding a rw and not rebuilding at all
If Tkachuk or Johnny move out then yes wrap him up. But if they don’t I just don’t see him exploding next season
I also think 6 years 4.75 vs waiting for 6 x 6 is a risk for him too not just the team. Maybe he wants 5 but he might take the guaranteed $28 mil right away.
If he wants 6 you can’t do that and keep Tkachuk and Johnny. Way too much money at lw
