Pay him like it before you piss him off. I get he's a RFA and has no rights, doesn't mean he can't hold a grudge. He's a man first.
Just protect yourself or the team by making sure there's a limited NTC so you can dump him if an issue arises (lack of commitment.. Yeah right.. Or injury or whatever).
Give him the 8x8 now in trade for a limited NTC where he has to submit a list every year.

You know who else has looked very good atthis tournament so far is Nathon McKinnon. I beleive he just signed for 7 years at $6.3 mill per. I love Johnny hockey but he should not be making $1.7 million more than McKinnon considering the RFA status of the contract.
