My guess is 2 years at 1.75 per year.

I don't totally disagree, he has no leverage or results to push his contract any higher than Ferland or Versteeg at this stage in his career. He likely doesn't want to miss out on any cash and is gunning for a one year deal so he can get his AAV back up where he thinks it belongs. I wouldn't be surprised to see a 1.5x1 deal. That's in the benefit of both parties.
Flames will spend to the cap. I will be interested to see what Tre does with the leftovers.
