Wouldn't surprise me at all if he was looking for 7.5+/y, given the cap is going up and he has pretty good intangibles.

Even Kane can’t deny the allure of going to market just to experience free agency for the first time. “You’ve got to live in reality,” he said. “This is my ninth year in the league. I’m very aware that, as much as it’s a game, No. 1, it’s always a business. It’s always about money. You see that with lockouts and CBA negotiations and player holdouts. That’s why you have an agent, to make you aware of your options, your possibilities that may happen and what goes on during or after a season.”
