I would be fine if they could get him here on a 2 year 1.25 deal but i dont think there is any chance he would agree.
Someone will give him 2+ in free agency.

Duclair was coming off back to back ~20g seasons and could only muster 1.7M. Of course by representing himself he effectively took himself out of the free agency frenzy, but the same risk could exist for Sam.
SEA has to be the best destination...a team full of 8th best forwards, few of whom will be centres.
I bet teams like ANA, LAK, MIN, VAN, and EDM would probably be interested in Sam, but they'd have other priorities first.
In the scenario of extending him I don't think it's likely he stays beyond next TDL, but he might garner a better return with a lower AAV.
