Depends on the coach and their level of experience and resume. I know that Dallas Eakins was making $1 mil a year with a 4 year contract. Coaches like Alain V, Torts, Julien are around the $2 mil mark.
Some coaches a few years back such as Claude Noel from Wpg or some of the smaller market teams may have been $800-900k?? If I had to guess for Bob Hartley it would be $1.5 mil. Besides the Flames gig he hadn't coached since 2007 so I am not sure how much leverage he had but he has a strong resume from years past.
Coaches really do put in some serious hours considering the stress and the pay. Babcock is suppose to become #1 in terms of money so we will see what happens with him.
