That's why I said 5x7, could see 5x8, but that would walk him exactly to UFAs door, which made me think the cheaper contract. 6 more years of the Hughes bros, 7 of Timo and Jepser, with Nemac to worry about 2(or 1 to sign) years from now and Nico the year after that. Basically 6 years to absolutely go for it with really good contracts and Nico re-up/trade in the middle. But also with a significant cap increase. If he would take cheaper to walk to UFA, I would do it in a heartbeat.I can see Luke demanding the exact same length as Jack -- i.e. signing a contract that's $8m/year until 2030. I can also see the Devils not having much interest in that contract, as it barely buys them any FA years (1, I think? Maybe zero?) and puts a 29 year old Jack and 26 year old Luke in position to become UFAs at the same time.
