I would guess if he is really set of staying here he will be asking something like $4M x 5y. maybe front loaded a bit. I lets him recoup some lost career earnings quickly. And still offers a home town discount for the Flames in the near future at least.

I will also be surprised if he re-signs without a NTC. Re-signing before free agency at a home town discount will be a life style choice. And you have to think he will want to protect that.

Edit: $4M doesn't sound like a home town discount, but you look at guys like Bolland and 2nd line players near 30 seem to be getting $5+ on the open market these days.
