8 x 9.5 = 76M - he'd need to know he has an offer of 7 x 10.9M to beat the total value.
If the Flames can go to 10.25, then he'd have to get $11.7M x 7 to beat that.
If he goes to free agency day - then you have to assume he's gone.

How is this the same? One has an extra year of work attached to it, the other does not. Time is important too and he'd be able to still sign a new contract and play hockey for money in that 8th year.
If you make 60k a year and work a job for 5 years, would you be just as happy making 50k/year and working there 6 years?
I don't think so.
