I wonder how much his 25% shooting percentage is going to play into things. Currently he's on pace for 44.7g and 70.8pts. However if his shooting percentage drops, so do the goals. IF he were shooting at 17% (something a lot more sustainable), he wouldn't even be on pace for 30g.
My point isn't to debate how well he can shoot going forward and whether or not he can sustain it... it's about what he can do year over year, and how much either party is willing to gamble.
He has 2 years left before he's a UFA. Wouldn't surprise me in the least to see one of two things happen.
1) LV signs him to the longest cheapest AAV contract they can - think Wennberg style. And then pray like **** that he plays close to what he has this year for the duration of that contract.
2) LV signs him (or takes him to arbitration) for a 1 yr deal. He will still be a RFA after it. That allows them to gather more info and see whether this year was a fluke or not. If it isn't... then while it will cost them more down the road, at least they'll have some certainty that it's money well spent, vs betting the house on a player with little history to back it up.
Personally, unless he's signing for 5m, I'd do the 1 yr deal and deal with the consequences down the road.
