I agree with the premise but I think you’ll need to push closer to 11m to pry him from Vancouver. Considering Vancouver will also have Hughes, gaudette and demko to sign on top of petterson As rfa’s and have about 24m to do it with. something like the 8.7m wouldn’t push the needle enough, more like 10.5-11m a year would back them more into a corner. they also have 5 or 6 ufa’s at the same time. Without going for a HR you’re basically just negotiating terms for them. I would look at 7 years 74-75m for the wild. Yea you give up the more draft picks but You will have ample after all the tdl people like bonino going this season. So you can afford it.
