Which ones? Crosby and Kunitz, Staal and Sullivan, or Morrow and Jokinen? Because he's produced with all of them.

Considering Dupuis' gets very little PP time, it's hard to say he doesn't deserve something close to Kunitz' 3.725. I would think at 34, the Pens would want to stick to 3 years, but Dupuis probably would want 4.
Brian Metzer made good points for giving him the 4th year though:Brian Metzer wrote:I don't see a big problem with 4 years. He is in prime shape, doesn't miss games. structure dollars so that he can transition into more of a role guy later in deal. Two years in top six, two (MB one) on 3rd.
Dupuis is also 34 so the 35+ rules wouldn't apply to him. http://www.capgeek.com/faq/what-s-a-35-plus-contract
He has a large family and they reportedly all love it here. He's left money on the table before, so I'm sure he's willing to do it again, but how much? I wouldn't be surprised if there was at least one team willing to drop $20M over 4-5 years for him. I certainly wouldn't, but we all know there's always deals like that.

Mainly Crosby and Kunitz, where he received the bulk of his points.

You have to look at it in terms of what percent of the cap $ 4 million is in four years. It might be no more than what a 2.5 to 3 million cap hit is today.
