With a flat cap, I'm not sure I would want to pay any more than that, unless he has some 85+ point seasons.
Is it $9 million? Yeah maybe that's what it was.

He could be gone in three seasons if he wants. Let the RFA contract play out, sign a 1 year QO, and the next off season he is a 25 year old UFA.

It's a risk on his part, but not far fetched.
