In order to forego that in advance of actually stepping foot into an organization, he wants a premium, and doesn't sound like 7 vs 8 years means as much as the other things.
Completely fair from his perspective IMO.

Sounds more than fair, but guys like Klingberg and Glencross should be a cautionary tale. If Rasmus has a bad finish to the year, bad playoffs, or an injury, then his value would plummet.
