The Skjei contract looks a bit high, but does have 3 UFA years. So as a comparable, it's probably equivalent to 4.75M/RFA year and 5.75m/UFA year (assuming the usual 1M/yr overpay on UFA deals). The Montour deal, being a bridge deal, is 3.39M/RFA year. If you use those 2 as comparables, Hanifin should come in at 4.07M/RFA year (just averaging the 2 quoted comparables) and 5.07M/UFA year, which would work out to 4.4M/yr on a 6 year deal. Alternatively, if he wants to bridge instead, probably just a cc of Montour's deal.
