For context, if he signed for 33 percent more than his last "value" contract he would be signing for about 5.1 million a year. That would be the equivalent of having the same "value" contract the Flames currently have in an 85 million dollar cap world. If he signed for the same amount as he did in 13/14 (3.857 million) his percentage of cap would go from 6 percent of the cap to 4.5 percent of cap (assuming an 85 million dollar cap). Most guys who are on good value contracts do not have their next contract at a lower percentage of cap percentage than their previous contract.

Hamonic is on an exceptional contact right now as far as cap hit, but he actually makes $4.875. I just think Treliving has him at peak and he will drive a hard bargain for an extension.
It is, as far as cap hits, a value contract. But guys on good value contracts aren't usually 30 when negotiating the next one. So 33% would probably be too high a raise for an end of career type.
