Somewhere between 4 years @ $7 mil per and 6 years @ $6.5 per.
That would be my guess.
Along the lines of what JayBo got

I'm guessing that any signing of Phaneuf would take place later rather than sooner to allow the club more time to gauge what the cap situation could be next year. Kessel was a priority signing...Phaneuf much less so.
I'd give him $6.5-7 million for 4-6 years but if he wants 7/8 years, which he will, I would be skeptical to go above $6-6.5 million. I think Phaneuf will decline significantly by 35, let alone 37.
Give him the same contract at Clarkson.
That would be fine.
Im sorry I dont mind paying for Kessel at a premium but if Seabrook and Keith get under 6 million so should Phaneuf 8x5.5million

A nickel less than 6.5 with a lifetime supply of hair gel.

I'm expecting Phaneuf to get a Kris Letang type deal who set the market for a top end UFA bound Dman with an 8 year x 7.25 per year contract.
Hopefully though Dion takes just a bit less than the max for what he could get like Kessel took a bit less than what Perry (8.625 per year) got.
Seems to me like Phaneuf will come in at $6.5M, the Leafs will come in at $5.5M, and they'll meet in the middle at $6.0M.
