I think if the Avs are determined to re-sign Toews and he is determined to stay and wants that long-term deal, he's going to have to come come off a high AAV. I can't see anyone giving him more than 6 years in UFA due to his age and $9M is probably the max anyone is going to go; that's $54M total. Over 7 years, that's comes down to $7.71M; over 8 years, that's $6.75M per. If he gives a bit of a hometown discount (leaves some money on the table in order to stay put), $6.5Mx8 or $7.5Mx7 feels about right. I still feel pretty strongly that the Avs will need that money to re-sign Mikko, Bo and Cale plus improve the forward group in the future so handing that much to a 30+ y/o D-man is super risky.
