It's rumoured at 5m a year, but TSN generally is accurate with their reports.
Mez is a PP specialist, 70% of his goals came on the PP and 50% of his points were on the PP. He's young, he'll only get better, so 5m locked in over the future could be a steal considering what other big named offensive defensemen go for.
Example, say he has a stellar year next year and the year after and he signed say a 2 year 4m a year deal. Cap goes up those 2 years (Probably anyways) he'll command more than the 5m he's rumoured to be getting now. Smart move to lock a young guy in now long term, unless he busts, which I doubt. :D
