I saw a report where they said John Tavares wants a short term contract anyways. Might have been Dave Pagnotta

I expect his next deal will take him to 40 years of age - similar to Tanev.

That said I think it will likely allow management to play around with the aav which will likely start with a 4 or 5 if the team offers about 6 years of term

The smart play, is get Marner done first, because it will leave JT less room to negotiate. There is no way this guy wants to leave Toronto at this stage of his career, it isn’t unkind to squeeze him now. He had the leverage when he was in his prime, not it’s time for some return value the other way, or let him walk. He won’t.
