I'd compare Backlund to him, and he's on a 3-year $3.575 contract.

Abdelkader is better than Backlund, and I'm a Backlund fan. Has more offensive upside and is good defensively as well while competing every single game and can move up and down the lineup.
The money is fair, the term is about 2-3 years too much. Another team would probably offer him more with less term.
