I figured 5 years. Even if he starts declining the last couple years the cap will jump a fair bit by then. I like 7

Being just two years away from being UFA, he did have some leverage then a normal RFA guy who might have four years of till UFA. Once the Leafs "jelled" defensively, first year Zaitsev has excelled. His offensive stats are identical to Parakyo's. I guess we'll know in seven years when Zaitsev is 33 years of age, whether it was a good/bad deal or somewhere in between. I like the deal.

My guess was 6 x $4.167MM, $25 million total.
