The 8th year brings the AAV down a bit, then you have to add the Canadian team tax, so 7x7 doesn't wouldn't seem crazy.
I think some people are stuck in the past. $7 million doesn't get you what it did a few years ago.
The whole premise of a 7x7 assumes he gets at least up to 50 points after this season as a 23 year old, which would assume he will exceed that in some seasons during the term. A player getting 50 points as a 23 year old stands a pretty good chance of being a 65-75 point player at some point.
