Just a guess, not based on anything at all:  6 years @ $8 million per.  Obviously would be based on what we think he could be, as opposed to what his numbers are to date, but the Devils have the cap room to give that to him.  He'd still be plenty young enough to try to set himself up for another big payday.  

Looks like you're in the zone, but even more team friendly:

Two extra years of prime Jack at $8m a year? Sure, thank you very much.

Wow…didn’t think he’d go 8 full years.  Good for him, the Devils, and the fans!  Love it.

As thrilled as I am about this, I do gotta wonder…

WHEN DOES NATHAN BASTIAN GET HIS DAMMIT?!

i’m going to cry i’m so happy.

hughes-mercer-hischier up the middle for the next 8+ years. 

someone hold me 

The funny thing is I can potentially see Dawson getting even more when his time comes up…

BUT, this is exactly the position the Devils wanted to be in…to be able to pay their own young talent, without having to pull off salary cap gymnastics (not that that day won’t ever come, but looks like they’re good for a while).

If the cap goes up, awesome, If not then i’ll Worry we’ll have a leafs problem… only our guys are home grown and will obviously have 2 cups by then

If you have a lot of good players, you get there eventually.  Where the Devils were smart (NOT cheap) was that they avoided bad UFA overpayments during the rebuild.  They had the room to “do something”, for the sake of doing it, just to appease some of the fanbase.  They didn’t.
