It all comes back to what he wants, and everything is guesswork really. I think he'd sign for a good bit less than $5m per year though.

He's rejected $3.5 x 2 and $3.4 x 5, so it's not going to be
that much less.
I don't see the Blues being interested at prices higher than those. They've consistently signed their own players to contracts no higher than $2.5 (over 1-2 years) in similar circumstances.
Those prices might be a bit outdated, but I still think it's safe to say that the Blues aren't going to trade value to Colorado in order to get the rights to a guy whose contract demands are almost certainly above their comfort level.
