You can’t blame him for testing the market. For all we know someone swoops in and signs Johnny to a 12 x 7. I wouldn’t want to be the guy that signs that, we know how crazy GMs can get.
I think if we offer a reasonable 7 year deal (assuming the 8 year is off the table and he’s testing the market), then I think Johnny would be loyal enough to stay unless a different team offers a total of 10m in the whole deal.
