Would he have been offer sheet eligible at the end of his current contract? If so, I think he probably could have gotten basically anyhing, as 14mm x 5 years would probably be worth it to someone...

If I was a GM I would absolutely take him for 5 firsts on this contract, and figure out the rest of it later.
