But the question isn’t whether a guy needs to be signed to an 8, it’s whether there should be exceptions to never signing guys over 24 who aren’t elite for 8. Longer term generally equates to lower AAV. Especially for guys over 25, or when you compare it against two four year contracts.
Based on the last 8 years, would it have been better to sign Jarnkrok to 8 at a slightly reduced AAV (or even just 2M, if we don’t want to guess at whether he’d take less), or a 6 at 2M and a 4 at 2.1M?

I'd also be okay with trading Andersson if the team gets blown away by an offer or if they can't figure something out this summer, but teams need to take some risks.

Same. Keep him or trade him for a haul. Both good options with tons of upside that I’d be happy with.
