He can sign a deal for 1M a year if he wanted to....the QO is only so they retain his rights and keep him RFA.
My guess is they do an 6 year deal next season for something like 8 per....unless he doesn't want to stay. Then he wont sign at all and will take the QO's until UFA.
The landscape has changed drastically since his last deal and what things were looking like in the future. He isnt alone.
