5 for UFA, 6 if you're re-signing your own guys seems fair.
But really if GMs don't like it then stop giving them out.
Personally as a smaller market team I like being able to offer 8 years to a guy coming off an ELC to be able to keep them longer.
In a world where 6 years is the max then players are easily potentially UFAs at 27, even if the team gave them max term
