<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>HawksFan28</b></div><div>Eh, he probably will - but he is a Chicago guy, perhaps he would take a little less for an opportunity to play with his home town team - that or incentives/bonus' can always be included in the contract....

As far as trading away next years first........ Well under this scenario the Hawks will be drafting twice in this years draft at #8 and #12 so I figure taking 2 guys in this years super deep draft would justify trading next years first round pick.... I mean that was my logic at least...... And if it gets us Faulk I think it would really be worth it because Faulk is only 26 or 27 I think so he still has some miles left on him -- and he would be an immediate help on the blue line too and that is exactly what the Hawks need. So with that said I think moving next seasons first round pick is worth it.</div></div>

Bonuses can only be included in an entry level deal or a 35+ contract buddy

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>babouie</b></div><div>HE IS 27 YRS OLD AND A UFA ONCE IN HIS PRIME . JUST CURIOUS WHY WOULD HE SIGN FOR LESS YRS ?? HE OWES THE HAWKS NOTHING . HE WONT SIGN FOR LESS THEN SIX YRS ON HIS NEXT CONTRACT NOT AT HIS AGE . YOUR GIVING THE EXTRA YEAR TO BRING DOWN HIS CAP NUMBER , THIS IS COMMON PRACTICE WITH UFA SIGNINGS AND BRIDGE YEAR CONTRACTS . YOU WANT TO GIVE SHORTER TERM FANTASTIC NP HIGHER CAP NUMBER COMES WITH SHORTER TERM . AGENTS ARE NOT STUPID . IDEALLY I AGREE IN PERFECT WORLD I WOULD NOT GIVE ANYONE LONGER THEN THREE TO FIVE YEAR CONTRACT . BUT THINK ABOUT IT IF HE SIGNS A THREE OR FOUR YEAR DEAL HE IS UFA AT 30 0R 31 ONE HE LOSES A LOT OF LEVERAGE TOWARDS HIS NEXT CONTRACT BECAUSE OF AGE . AND THE BIGGEST PROBLEM FOR A PLAYER IS INJURIES AND FALLING PRODUCTION AS YOU AGE AGAIN LOSING BARGAINING POWER FOR NEXT CONTRACT . ANY GOOD QUALITY 26 OR 27 YEAR OLD UFA IS GOING TO WANT TO SIGN FOR MAX TERM CONTRACT POSSIBLE .</div></div>

I'll revisit this when he signs his actual deal. I would put my life on the fact that he signs less than 7 years.
