Niskanen will take no less than 6 years and 5 million.

But he'll get it from one retarded team, hopefully the Caps.

Red Wings supposedly want him bad as well.

There was a terrifying tweet that the Caps are interested in both Niskanen AND Orpik. Signing Orpik would be like Matt Cooke in reverse.

I like Niskanen a lot. A lot of Caps fans want to sign Ehrhoff, now that he's been bought out. but Ehrhoff is 31 and Niskanen is 27. It's quite likely Niskanen's best year's are ahead of him (given blueliners slower development patterns) while a Ehrhoff deal is pretty much guaranteed to be flushing money down the toilet in the last years of the deal.

Personally, I'd rather save the cash and go after Fayne for a reasonable cap hit, and then go big after Statsny with Grabbo as your back up plan. Center matters more for the Caps. They need a 2C desperately.
