I can see them both wanting to go long term. Its not just if he's worth that much, there other things in play here. We don't have that kind of size or skill on our backend to play hard ball. Jim Benning is gunna be on a shorter leash this time next year and will do anything to sign him to maintain job security, all the main prospects are already here or guaranteed to be here next year. The fans and ownership still have a lot left to be desired. If and when this signing does take place, as long as its under 5 mil cap hit, i don't think term matters to much because its a tradeable asset. He can play in the NHL he's already proved it.
