Aho's agent has already said they are looking at 9.5 million for 5 years. Everyone is following the lead of Matthews who screwed up the whole RFA market with his crappy deal. Almost every TOP RFA will want a 5 year deal so it takes them straight to UFA.

GM's at that time really should have more than enough ammo to say no to an 8 year top dollar team by then. Almost 100% of players end up declining in their early 30's and an 8 year deal signed when you are 28 is going to be awful by the time they are done. I think 5 year deals will be followed by 4 or 5 year deals at top dollar and then guys will see a big fall in their 4th contracts.
