$11M is the actual starting point for Johnny. $88-$95M seems to be the appropriate range for one of the elite players in the league.
$11.5M x 8, $92M.
That would keep Johnny here.

He may be elite, but he is not an elite center or #1 D. You really think $12.5 x 7 is his starting point for other teams? That's the same AAV as McDavid and I don't see any teams jumping at that sort of cap hit.
Johnny is amazing, but I'd guess the actual starting point he would consider is probably closer to an $80 million contract.
Hopefully they come to an agreement soon!
