As player the goal should really be to hit UFA at 28 years old IMO.

Assume the average player hits the NHL at 20 years old (draft+2) and has a 3 year ELC that takes you to 23 years old. I'd then want to sign a 5 year extension that takes me to 28, and I can be UFA at 28 years old. Sign my 8 year deal at 28 and I am getting paid until I am 36/37 years old.
