The guy has been a top ten scorer since entering the league, right between Gaudreau and Ovechkin. He's done it while playing with top tier players in Chicago, and less than top tier players in Columbus.
A 7 year deal will still keep him on the right side of 35 (he'll be 34 his last season). There's teams out there that would easily and happily offer him 11M+ without a second thought.
