I would offer him a 2-yr contract at $4M per.
This is essentially a raise for him. His present salary is inflated due to the fact he took a 1 year deal; the Flames paid him more to walk into an awkward situation where there was a large risk of him going to the AHL.
The next contract would offer him stability and the chance to be the undisputed starter, something which I think he would value.
Lets not forget, no one picked him up on waivers and no one else was interested during free agency...I think Kari would be interested in $4m (or potentially slightly less)
