His last deal was a steal for Minnesota, so I have trouble seeing him giving much of a discount this time, even if he loves playing for the hometown team. He's 28, and this is likely his last chance to get PAID. Unless he has a bad year, I'd think that he'd want max term. A 5 or 6 year deal only takes him through 32 or 33 seasons, and it will be harder to sign something big then, especially since he isn't a star. He's probably not going to get the Hayes contract, but if he scores 50+ points, his agent will certainly ask for something close to that.
