8x$9.5 vs 7x$10 is only a difference of $6M, and it’s far, far less than that in terms of real money - especially stacked up against the value of a $70M contract.
Do you think Johnny wouldn’t get $10M as a UFA?
Please, don’t anyone think I don’t believe it’s possible Johnny will extend here.
I think they need to give him a reason to do it. He probably would, if he knew Eichel was going to be his centre in three months.
