Shorter terms will allow them to make more money and go to their teams earlier.
Give them 1 year of RFA so now 6 years of service in the NHL. That's a ELC and bridge deal and off to UFA you go or you can stay 4 year term.
All you see now in the NHL is a bunch of rumours and no movement, and you can attribute those long deals, capped out league, and NTC.
