Sure, but we are only talking about year 8 and comparing 7 and 8 year contracts. What he'll get in year 9 is not particularly relevant.
I expect the chances would be greater at a multi year contract after this contract ends is better after a 7-year contract than a 8-year contract.
But I doubt it comes down to money. It will come down to where he wants to play. If he is indeed negotiating with Calgary on the money right now, there seems no reason for them not to get a deal done, as it means he's decided that he can stay in Calgary if the contract is right.
