$7-$7.5M for 4 years: $35M-$38M total

or

$5.5M-$6M for 7 years: $38.5M - $42M total
I can see based on your idea of numbers why this is taking so long. He probably overvalues himself, especially as a 31 year old Palat got 30M over 5 years as a winger. These numbers are closer to where he should be, either add more years to get cap hit around that 6M, or a very short term deal, where he bets on himself and a rising cap to get some money after. If I'm Kadri in all about term as even after a 2-3 year deal he's probably losing a lot of earning power
