Very easy choice. It's not franchise crippling to pay your top player 1.5M more than expected. (And really who expected 9.5M for the #2 scorer in the league) almost seems like some posters are hedging their bets to complain either way.

Two questions
1) do you think Johnny is worth it to be paid the highest on the team for the next eight years? If so do you see him in the same ilk as McDavid and Mackinnon?
2) what average point production do you see from him for the next eight years to make that contract valid? What production would be a disappointment?
I keep saying I think he’s a great number two on a championship team. The elusive number one is missing. Just because he’s the best player on the team doesn’t justify the $11M price tag. If it handcuffs you in the future let some other team make a mistake. It’s a sunk cost.
