With the cap going up, salaries are bound to increase, so I would have absolutely no problem giving him 3 X 4.5M. I think his production is going to increase quite a bit over the next three seasons.

And at the expiry of the 3 year deal, he'd still have 1 year left before being UFA I believe? He would be RFA with arbitration rights. That could get sticky. Probably as much of a factor as the AAV. Longer than 3 buys UFA years, so AAV would have to go up. 2 years is probably nothing the player wants to sign.
