Johnny is a class above Trouba in my opinion. If Trouba ends up anywhere near 8x7, Johnny will surely be getting $9MM per year.
I got no problem with the individual players trying to get as much as they can. After all, they are the product we buy and the NHL sells, and so they deserve the dough the league generates.
This salary cap era though makes me wish players would accept less to be on a competitive team. That in and of itself is a bit unfair, but such is the cap world.
