When a player gets to 33 I think you can start looking at two year deals.

Obviously it can't be that rigid, but if in place I think you'd see the positive impact after ten years of making those hard decisions.
I would guess you would have 0 chance signing Rasmus for 4 years. I would bet it's 8 years or a higher cap for 6 years minimum.

8 years @ $8.5 or so

6/7 years @ $9+
