Bottom line is that these guys are signing for the same AAVs now, with post-ELC contracts, that the top UFAs are signing for. The days of the deep discounts for RFA years are gone. Meaning UFA years are far less relevant.

Te term is relevant now for player control. Colorado controls Makar for 5 years after this one. Fox is controlled for 8 years after this year.
Colorado would have loved to get an additional 2 years of control. But it would have cost them.
