I'd be comfortable giving him $5-5.5mil/year. Anything more than that and it starts getting a bit risky. No way will he or should he get anywhere near $6.75. He's a great player but you can't be paying your #2 centre who very likely could become your #3 (depending on how Bennett progresses) that much.
