No idea what he will be asking for but I imagine it's going to be in the range of $5 million a season seeing it's his last shot at a big deal. He wasn't as good last season but a .908 SV% behind that defense in the down season isn't terrible. He was the only reason they made the playoffs the season before and IMO they just rode him too hard and the burden of having to steal all those games was going to catch up with them. Treliving tried to trade for him when the Oilers got him so there may still be interest so if he gets to free agency I feel that the Flames would have interest unless his game totally falls off the map this season. I have to think the Oilers will try to keep him seeing they don't have a lot of options to turn to within the organization.
