It doesn’t make a lot of sense.
Even balking at 9-9.5/8 and then throwing out 7.2 over 5. UFA years cost money, 3 more years of them costs money.
1.8 extra per year for 3 extra years of UFA isn’t even remotely unrealistic.

I dunno, it is basically buying the outer 3 years at almost 12 million per.
Depends what the player does between now and then and where the market is at. I don’t know if I see the salary escalation continuing like it has the past say 5 years. Not sure what the major untapped revenue streams will be
