It is hard to say if there are that many takers out there.
For one, given his older age, and limited performance at the end of last season, I don't think there are that many GM's out there that are willing to give Mats that high of a contract. For 3-4 M based off of an 82 game season I can see, any more I don't.
Look at what NYR gave Naslund. Look at how much Gillis gave Demitra. How much did Tkachuk get on his 1 year extension? I am willing to be it is less than $4M given $2.15 M this year.
I like Mats, and I think he still has some gas in the tank, but after what we saw last year, I don't think any GM will take the chance to give him THAT much money, again.
