Damn $88M is pretty high. I would probably still sign him to that, but I would hold my nose doing that.
Fair compensation for him IMO is $9.50-$10.25 on max deal.
He's a high point producer, but not a C, and with limited playoff success so he's not really in the $11M+ range IMO.
The guy is a cornerstone of the club though, and sometimes you need to pay a premium for that too. Hence why I say I'd still do $11MM per.
