Don't think he gets a long term deal. Probably 2 years around 2-3M AAV?
ETA: My guess is Yzerman will give him a substantial upgrade on salary but keep him from walking into UFA to see where he is at the end of that. Should be able to give him something around a 5 year deal after that, if he keeps progressing.

One that hasn't had a full year in the NHL.

One with a single partial season under his belt. Moser, probably the closest stylistic comparison, signed 2 yrs $3.3M/yr but he had a full 3 seasons of top 4 play on his resume.

Yep. Give him the two years. He bridges the contracts of Holl/Chiarot and you allow the team to get the Edvinsson extension through and then you see whether he's going to be consistently this good and you reward him accordingly with a lot of cap available to you, if you need it.
It almost writes itself the way the contracts lineup, honestly.
ETA: That and Pellikka should be on board either next year or the year after and you can stagger your d-man contracts out really well.
This is silly, do we think he’s a flash in the pan and bridge him and pay for it in 2-3 years? Or do we think he’s legit and lock him up longterm at a reasonable rate?

As a GM you have to be pragmatic and take the cautious route with a guy who, while he is showing well, needs to show that he's going to be this way, consistently, before you give him a long-term deal. It's not like he isn't going to get a large bump in pay. You're just staggering him a bit and paying him really well for no UFA years purchased.
One that’s only been a top 4D for like 25 games?
You don’t give term to guys with 20 good games. Not saying he hasn’t looked good but the market for that type of player would be a 2x2 or similar.

Let’s not forget that when Gus Nyquist had as many career games as AlJo does he looked like a perennial 40+ goal scorer who would challenge for Rocket’s. Sample size matters and AlJo needs a far larger one to say he’s a sure fire top 4 long term.
If he's playing as good as you described, he probably holds out for an offer sheet if eligible instead of those lowball 2mil aav bridge deals discussed above.
