I don't think he gets that, but if he was a FA this year I would think some team would throw a 7x5 deal at him.
He's putting up borderline elite numbers this year. 17th in points, 4th in goals by a defenseman. 22 defenseman make more than $6,000,000. I definitely see him making at least $6,000,000.
He’s 30 or soon to be making 5.1 a year right now. He’s putting up big #s and playing great 200 ft, a career year.
Do you think he’s really going to take a pay cut?
He’ll be offered at minimum same contract as Dumba but most likely will get more on open market.
He deserves it

If Spurgeon hits the open market, Toronto and Edmonton are going to throw as much as they can at him.
Again, I want to know what the plan is for the ED. Are we keeping Spurgeon, Suter, and Dumba, and letting Brodin go, hoping to re-sign him as a UFA? Or trading Spurgeon for as much as we can get?
Personally, I would wait till next year to sign Spurgeon, if indeed we are going to. To bad Johannson looks so unlikely to be a top4 RHD anytime soon, but again, next year might make a lot things clearer. FJo can have a great summer, get promoted and start kicking ass in the SHL, and Spurgeon might get injured, or start looking less fantastic. Unlikely, but possible.
Spurgeon might well be our best player.

A lot can change, but in my mind the default would be to protect Suter, Dumba and Spurgeon and expose Brodin. I think trading either Brodin or Spurgeon should be on the table, but if we're just doing it to avoid expansion trouble we'd need expansion-exempt assets coming back. Trading either of those guys for futures and still having to lose a player doesn't seem likely to work in our favor. At some point we just have to take our medicine and that might well involve losing Brodin.
There is no way they can afford to let Spurgeon go, especially when compared to Brodin. He does what is effectively the combined play of Dumba/Brodin in terms of offensive production + defensive shutdown + any special teams facet.

Article in the Star Trib on Spurgeon. Not extremely detailed but still decent.

Ok, dis hockey
At this point, Spurgeon is our best defensemen. If we're not "rebuilding" then we have no business of trading him rn.

Completely disagree with you. How many times did Spurgeon save Suter tonight?
If we don’t resign him I’m gonna lose it.
I thought you liked him, why do you want the Wild to force him to resign?

You can't honestly think that Spurgeon was better than Suter tonight? I get the Spurgeon circle jerk is in full effect right now, but you do understand that it was a Spurgeon turnover that gave the Avs the game winner?
How many 2 on 1’s was Spurgeon back on to make up for bad Suter pinches or turnovers?
