The good thing is, even if he went the arbitration route, I think his entire career will be evaluated rather than just this season. So his short, unproductive season last year would be included and analyzed as much as this season.

Ultimately, I think both sides come to a multi year agreement. Things could change from today going into the summer of 2022, but I could see a 2 or 3 year deal with a reasonable cap hit that brings him into free agency. I think that would satisfy both sides: player gets some term and stability with the possibility of a massive pay day upon free agency. GM gets a nice cap hit with low risk and potential for high reward.
