In the end...all of this will land somewhere between and 82-88M contract. However, Gaudrovertime will advise him to wait 5 weeks for the extra potential 5M. 
 
I believe this will be a lot like the Landeskog situation.

The touring week isn't a thing any more.
But it you aren't particularly close to a deal 5-7 days out, I don't think it's actually a bad option to hold firm on your offer and give the player permission to see what else is out there as it's possible your 8 year offer is actually their best option.
