Probably a similar deal to Backlund's. 2 years, $1-1.5 million cap hit.
The two year term would ensure he's still an RFA at expiration and he can earn a bigger, longer-term then.
He might get a little more money just because they'll need to hit the salary floor next year, so you might as well slightly overpay the guys who have already bought in to the team's philosophy than to significantly overpay a couple of free agents in July just to boost the payroll.
