Send link, you chirped OP for his contract, so we need more than "trust me bro." I've read he wants a raise on his current, and Sevarelli said above 7, no one has said 7.

Seravalli reports that his sources indicate that Letang and his representatives have asked for a 5-year extension in the ballpark of $7 million per year. The Penguins are said to still not be willing to discuss a deal of that length.
This is from about a week and a half ago. So idk where you got that seravalli said above 7. The pens management said they’d be willing to give him a raise if he took a 2-3 year deal instead.

If you told any NHL executive their best defenseman is committed to the team, he’s willing to take less money to stick around, and he’s embraced the mentor role to lead the organization’s youngsters, they would ask where to sign up. Letang has done exactly this, and there’s no reason why Hextall and Burke shouldn’t be offering a contract extension at some point this season.
Here’s another article stating he is willing to take a pay cut in exchange for a longer term contract.
