Comparing it to a marriage when dealing with Gross is a stupid comparison. Saying the 8th year doesn't matter is saying that 15 million dollars doesn't matter. Maybe it doesn't, but it would be unusual for Gaudreau and gross to think that.

You are assuming that johnny simply wants the biggest dollars possible.
While I agree he wants as much money as he can get depending on which country he decides, I believe he still needs to decide if he wants to live in Calgary or the eastern US. If he chooses the eastern US, the 8th year, does indeed, not matter.
Once he decides that, he will, as he should, try and maximize dollars.
