That is simply to much money (depending on the term of course, but let's be realistic...he is not signing for less than 4 years)
I love the guy as much as anybody but lets remember that he only has a season and a half of elite level play under his belt (120 games). Let's also not forget that he will be 33 years old when this contract kicks in. In addition to that he has not proven to be capable of playing a full season in over four years.
Those are all factors here that quite frankly non of his "current comparable's" had at the time of their respective deals.
