Mark Fayne is a good comparable and he got 3.625 over 4 years. He put up 8 points and their fans still think it's a great contract due to his ability to generate shots for his team and suppress shots for the opponent. Schlemko has very similar underlying numbers to Fayne.

I like Schlemko. His going rate is probably around a million dollars. And he'd be #7/8 on the depth chart next year. Fayne is way better than Schlemko.
