Signing a goalie in their 30's to a long term contract isn't a good comparable to Lundqvist?
I'll beg to differ.
Add in the Bishop injury history and I'd be very worried about it.
If they did it I could understand the thinking ... plug the spot with a top ten goalie and worry about 4 years from now in 4 years, but there has to be a way to avoid that future head ache.

Also - Pekka Rinne was about the same age as Bishop is now was when he signed his 7x7 deal - how do you think Nashville feels about paying 34 year old Rinne for a couple more years?

7M isn't 8.5M
and 2 years isn't 4
