When do his arbitration rights kick in?

You're dreaming if you think $2.5M is enough on a 4 year deal. A 2 year deal is probably going to be in the $2.25 - $2.5M range.
So 4 x $3.5M means something like $4.5M for the 3rd and 4th years. And those would be peak pre-UFA years.
That would be a great deal for the Flames.
