Free agency is still free agency.
1 year at $10M, followed by 7 years at $10-11M in a market of his choosing would be appealing - and I firmly believe he'd get that offer no problem. He's an elite two way winger who will be hitting free agency at the youngest possible age. It's a good position for him to be in, but yeah - hopefully it doesn't come to that and we get him locked up, but any thoughts of the number being anywhere near $7M are just not realistic.
