In your opinion what do you think would be a fair deal for him here, and what do you think is too much?
A fair deal to me is going to be 6 or lower on 5–6-year deal. What he likely is going to want or may have indicated is 8 years and 8M plus, and that is way too long and much.
I think an extension should be off the table, and they should look to aggressively move him at the deadline or draft.

Out of the gate I disagree with this premise. Again until there is more clarity on where the cap is going, i think more players are holding off on saying what it will take.
6 or lower on a 5 year deal seems low though. It'll take more than that.
And I'm not advocating to sign him. I've consistently said I think the best approach is to trade him sometime before next season.
