Vrbata is consistently a 50-55 point player and that's worth about $4.5~5.0M these days. Considering the fact that the Canucks have promised Vrbata that he will get to play with the Sedins, he shouldn't have much problem hitting 60 or even 70 points. Plus the short term makes it easy to trade him for a pick if things don't work out somehow.
Vancouver made out like a bandit in this signing with plenty of upside and almost no risks.
