I'm fulling expecting a 4-5 year deal worth 4-5M per season. Anything below 4.5M is a significant hometown discount.
Look at some other comparables (some clearly better players, some clearly worse players, but all in the same "range" as far as quality of player goes):
Callahan - 6 years, 5.8 per
Clowe - 5 years, 4.85 per
Bickell - 4 years, 4 per
Umberger - 5 years, 4.6 per
Marchand - 4 years, 4.5 per
Steen - 3 years, 5.8 per
Hemsky - 3 years, 4 per
Purcell - 3 years, 4.5 per
Pouliot - 5 years, 4 per
Pominville - 5 years, 5.6 per
Moulson - 5 years, 5 per
Gionta - 3 years, 4.25 per
Horton - 6 years, 5.3 per
Michalek - 3 years, 4 per
Clarkson - 7 years, 5.25 per
Lupul - 5 years, 5.25 per
Dubinsky - 6 years, 5.85 per
